Ambition Win 6-5 Nail-Biter Versus Firebirds
Ashton Dillon did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to spare the Albany Firebirds an extra-inning, 6-5 loss to the Indianapolis Ambition at Ken Griffey Jr. Plaza. Dillon went 4-6 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Indianapolis, at 74-47, is 5 games up in the TML AAA Joe Torre Division.

The Ambition got a clutch hit from third baseman Jimmy Cox. In the bottom of the 14th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Ambition.

"It's a satisfying feeling, to win like we did," said Cox.
