Firebirds Take Down Swallowtails, 3-2, in 10
The Albany Firebirds earned a close win over the State College Swallowtails, thanks in part to Manny Fajardo. The Albany right-hander, who is tied for 7th in the TAAA with a 3.79 ERA, played a key role in the 10-inning, 3-2 victory. Albany reliever Israel Sanchez picked up the win, upping his record to 5-3. Jay Clayton took the loss. The win makes Albany 66-61.

Albany used the timely hitting of Paul Runchey to seize the win. The third baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Firebirds on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Fajardo.
