The Braves beat the Marlins last night 9-4, but two key players were injured during the game. Chipper Jones left the game in the fourth inning with a strained hamstring. Tim Hudson left the game after throwing 6 shutout innings with tightness in his shoulder. The offense played well. Gregor Blanco had 4 hits, 3 RBI, and 3 R. Yunel Escobar had 2 hits and 3 RBI. Blaine Boyer, Will Ohman, and Mike Gonzalez pitched scoreless relief while Buddy Carlyle gave up the four Marlin runs in his 1/3 of an inning. The Braves have the day off on Thursday before their do-or-die series against the Phillies starting Friday. I would have to say that we would have to sweep the Phillies this weekend to have any kind of shot at the division title, or at least take 2 of 3. If we don't win 2 of the 3 games against the Phillies, I believe that trades are in order for Mark Teixeira, Will Ohman, Mike Gonzalez, and anyone else we can get some prospects for. Indeed, this is a big weekend....
The Brownsburg Little League team completed pool play with a 10-4 victory over Munster. They finished pool play 3-0 and will play South Bend East Side in the semi-finals tonight. Jeffersonville will play State Park (Chesterton) in the other semi-final. The tournament is now single elimination for the next two games. The championship game is Friday night. The winner will go to the Great Lakes region tournament that will start on July 31.
