Carolina down 1-0 in the 2nd inning. Chris Heisey is not playing after leaving last nights game in the 8th inning....

[Danny Serafini]

Carolina ties it at 1 in the top of the 6th, a Henry bunt single brought home Denove. Sounds like Mallett is really in a groove after giving up the first inning run.

[Danny Serafini]

Birmingham gets the run back in the bottom of the inning, Carolina down 2-1 after 6.

[Danny Serafini]

It's getting chippy now. Birmingham's pitcher threw high and tight on Frazier after Frazier glared at him for going inside the pitch before. A couple players from each dugout came out onto the field to join the jawing. Warnings have now been issued by the home plate ump.

Why did he leave the game last night?

[Danny Serafini]

Carolina loses a lightning quick game 2-1. Game only lasted a tick under two hours.

A FINE TUNED VIOLA: LHP Pedro Viola (Louisville) last night at Durham orchestrated a scoreless 9th inning for his 2nd save of the season...since allowing a solo home run in his first outing of the season on 4/14 vs Toledo, he’s strung together 11 straight scoreless appearances (13.2ip, 5h, 7bb, 16k, .106ba).

WOOD WORKING: LHP Travis Wood (Carolina) last night at Birmingham scattered 7 hits over a season-high 7.0 innings to notch his 2nd win of the year (1r/1er, 2bb, 7k)...for the season, Wood is 2-3 with a 1.36 ERA in 7 starts (12r/6er, 39.2ip, 24bb, 28k, .197ba)...he ranks among Southern League leaders in ERA (3rd) and innings pitched (39.2ip, 1st).

EYE OF THE TIGER: IF Eric Eymann (Carolina) last night at Birmingham went 3-for-5 with 2 runs and 2 RBI...it marked his third 3-hit game in 4 contests...Eymann has hit safely in 12 of his last 16 games (21-45, .467) to raise his batting average from .139 to .321 and his on-base pct. from .184 to .402...in 9 games this month, he’s batting .500 (13-26, 1hr, 7rbi).

LOOKING FOR LOVE IN SULBARAN PLACES: RHP J.C. Sulbaran (Dayton) last night vs. West Michigan allowed a run on 4 hits in 5.0 innings (0bb, 8k, 1hr)...his night ended early due to a blister on his pitching finger...Sulbaran, 19, pitched for Team Netherlands in this year’s World Baseball Classic.
