Barzilla restricts Redbirds

May 27, 2007
Philip Barzilla hurled seven strong innings as Round Rock shut down Memphis, 3-1, on Saturday night at The Dell Diamond.

Barzilla (6-1) matched his longest outing this season, allowing one run on six hits while walking two and striking out two. The 28-year-old left-hander threw 55 of 89 pitches for strikes in winning his fourth-straight decision.

Stephen Randolph fanned four batters in two hitless innings to earn his third save and send the Redbirds (23-27) to their third straight loss.

After Memphis took a 1-0 lead in the fourth, the Express (24-25) answered in the bottom of the frame as Jesse Garcia and Josh Anderson delivered back-to-back RBI singles.

Cody Ransom, who went 2-for-4 with a run scored, provided an insurance run with an RBI single in the fifth.

Mike Parisi (4-3) suffered the loss after allowing three runs on nine hits in six innings with one strikeout and one walk.

Nick Stavinoha went 2-for-4 with a double and John Nelson knocked in Round Rock's lone run with a fourth-inning double. --Zack Hample/MLB.com
