Big Bill Foster pitched a complete game and Rev Cannady hit 2 doubles at
Rickwood Field where the Birmingham Barons beat the New York Mets 3 to
2, ending the Mets season opening winning streak at seven. The Mets were the last MLB team to not have a loss on their record.

The game was won by Birmingham with a run in the 8th inning. Chino Smith
ripped a base-knock. Josh Gibson grounded out as Smith advanced to second. Mule Suttles was the next batter, but he struck out. John Beckwith then drew a walk. At that point, Mets manager Bobby Valentine relieved Koosman and brought in Bob Apodaca to face the right handed Cannady, but Rev was equal to the challenge, and doubled in the go ahead run. Birmingham totaled 10 hits on the afternoon.

Mike Piazza (1st) and Mule Suttles (3rd) exchanged solo homers in the 6th inning, the only long balls of the game for the two teams.

The victory was credited to Foster(2-0) who went the distance, allowing 2
runs on 6 hits, striking out 7 Mets. Jerry Koosman(1-1) took the loss. Despite taking the loss, he whiffed 11 batters while allowing only 3 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings.
