Baker slugs 2 home runs to Power Firebirds Offense
The Albany Firebirds outscored the Billings Mustangs, 18-10. Robby Baker led the way, going 3-for-6 for Albany. The last-place Mustangs dropped to 48-86.

Will Dudley had a big 2-run double for the Firebirds in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Albany trailing 4-3 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 23-year old right-handed pitcher Zbynek Petruzalek and swatted a double to center. It was his 14th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Firebirds ahead, 5-4.

Billings manager said he was disappointed with the loss. "Whenever you score that many runs, you expect to win the game."
