Mobile Beats Sicily, 8-7
The Mobile Monsters grabbed a win, 8-7, over the Sicily Mafia at Mussolini Municipal Park. Mobile first baseman Matt Ward was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times. Steve Schlachter earned the save for Mobile, his 1st of the year. Sicily is 10-4 after the loss.

Mobile used a well-timed hit by Adam Berger to capture the win. The right fielder socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the first inning to put the Monsters ahead, 5-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Ward.
