The Braves used a 7 run 9th inning to beat the Phillies last night, 8-2. Brian McCann was 2 for 3 with 5 RBIs and 2 home runs, including a grand slam in the ninth. Gregor Blanco, Jeff Francoeur, Kelly Johnson, and Omar Infante also had two hits each. Jair Jurrjens threw 8 innings of shutout baseball only giving up 3 hits and striking out 6. Will Ohman gave up a meaningless home run to Ryan Howard in the ninth. The two teams play Saturday at 355pm on FOX. Mike Hampton will attempt to make his first start in over two years for the Braves. Cole Hamels will pitch for the Phillies. The Braves are still 6 games behind the Mets in the NL East.
The Brownsburg Little League team had multiple chances to win, but came up short, losing to Jeffersonville in the state championship game by a score of 1-0. Jeffersonville scored in the top of the first, but Brownsburg came back to have runners on 2nd and 3rd in the bottom of the first, but could not get the runners home. Brownsburg had runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out in the second, but did not convert. Congratulations to Brownsburg on a great run in the tournament. I will look forward to watching you at the high school level in 3 or 4 years.
