Simmons Helps Albany Outscore Anchorage
The Albany Firebirds dumped the Anchorage Moose, 13-10, in large part due to left fielder Nick Simmons. On the day, Simmons went 3 for 3 with a triple, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 for the Firebirds. Nathan Al-Assel earned the win after being summoned from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 4.1 innings. He upped his record to 3-0. Israel Sanchez was credited with the save for Albany, his 13th of the season.

Albany used the hitting of Mike Grant to pick up the win. The catcher clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Firebirds on top, 8-6. For the game, Grant had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Anchorage manager expressed his frustration after the game: "That many runs and it still wasn't enough?"

Albany is now 48-64, Anchorage 38-74.
