Barons Capture Second Straight Southern League Crown in Rain-Delayed Game 3

A rain suspension pushed the finale into a next-day continuation that spotlighted prospect pitching plus timely hits.

Overview

  • Birmingham completed the suspended winner-take-all in Montgomery with a 6-3 victory to secure the Southern League championship.
  • White Sox prospect Hagen Smith limited the Biscuits to three baserunners through four innings before the weather stoppage.
  • Jordan Sprinkle delivered a bases-clearing double in the fifth to extend the lead to 5-0 after a bases-loading walk by Calvin Harris.
  • Rikuu Nishida sparked the early scoring by reaching on an infield single and scoring on a wild pitch, with William Bergolla setting the table and Caden Connor adding an RBI single.
  • Sam Antonacci added an eighth-inning RBI double following a Nishida steal, and Tyler Davis closed the ninth after a one-out solo homer, with a 4-6-3 double play in the eighth preserving the cushion.
