BigStars Upend Red Birds, 5-2
The Austin BigStars picked up a win at LaBatt's Blue Park, knocking off the Toronto Red Birds, 5-2. Starting pitcher Donovan Straughan played a key role in the triumph. Straughan, now 5-5, was the winner. In 6.1 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 2, walking 0, and allowing 2 runs. Charles Parsons, credited with the save, is now 32 for 35 in save opportunities.

Austin used a well-timed hit by Bob Jones to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the BigStars ahead, 4-2. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Jones told the Austin Citizen.

With the win, Austin raised its record to 52-40.
