So much for home field advantage. Jeff Weaver and the Birmingham Barons blew the Nashville Sounds out winning game 133, 9-2. Bill Bradley and Juan Gonzalez went deep for Birmingham. Bradley drove in 3 runs, while Gonzalez and Phil Garner drove in 2. Gene Conley entered the game 2-1 vs. Birmingham with a stellar 1.71 ERA, but only lasted 3.2 innings allowing 5 runs. Conley allowed 6 hits and walked 3. Meanwhile, Jeff Weaver pitched a complete game 8 hitter walking only 1 while striking out 7.
