Turning the tables on us

The Braves, who won 4-0 on Monday, were defeated by that same score on Tuesday by the Marlins. It was a good game, with the exception of one pitch - a three-run homer by Mike Jacobs. Charlie Morton threw 5 2/3 innings for the Braves, giving up all 4 runs but only surrendering 2 hits. However, the 4 walks may have hurt him. Royce Ring, Blaine Boyer, Rafael Soriano, and Julian Tavarez all pitched scoreless relief. The offense was pitiful as Chipper Jones got the only Braves hit of the night. The teams play in the rubber game of the series tonight at 710p. Tim Hudson pitches for the Braves, Ricky Nolasco will pitch for the Marlins. Both pitchers have 10 wins on the season and sub-4.00 ERAs, so look for this game to be a good one also.

The Brownsburg Little League team beat Terre Haute North last night 12-3 in pool play of the Indiana state finals. They are now 2-0 in pool play. They play Munster tonight at 745p. A Brownsburg win or a State Park loss assures them of a spot in the semi-finals on Thursday.
