A total loss

The Braves lost to the Pirates last night, 5-2. Chuck James started for the Braves and gave up 5 runs in 6 innings. Marx Teixeira had 2 hits and a 2-run homer, accounting for the only runs scored for Atlanta. Omar Infante was 3 for 4 and is now 4 for 7 since being called up from the minors. Game three of the series is Sunday afternoon at 1pm. Jair Jurrjens will pitch for the Braves and Zach Duke will pitch for the Pirates.

Ball State lost both games of the doubleheader to Northern Illinois yesterday. In the first games, Tyler Pritchard gave up 3 runs in 5 innings to take the loss. He is now 3-6 on the season. Wayne Bond had 2 hits and Matt Stokelen had a solo homer for the only Cardinal RBI of the game. In the second game, Brad Piatt started and kept the Cardinals in contention giving up 4 runs in 5 innings. Aaron Hammons gave up 2 runs in the next two innings to get the loss. He is 2-3 for the season. Stokelen, Bond, Kolbrin Vitek, and TJ Baumet all had home runs for BSU. Stokelen had 3 hits and 2 RBI. Vitek had 2 hits and 2 RBI. The Cards and the Huskies play the final game of the series Sunday at 1pm.

Yesterday was my niece's third birthday, so I thought I would show a picture of her enjoying the best part of the day, the cake.
