The Braves won on Friday to stop a 4 game losing streak beating the DBacks 10-6. Jair Jurrjens, who was not getting any run support, finally got some while being staked to a 9-1 lead after three innings. Obviously, he didn't know how to react to all of the support because he only lasted 5 innings and gave up 5 runs. The bullpen held up their end of the bargain by only allowing one run in the final 4 innings. The offense had many stars, but the brightest was Yunel Escobar. Escobar's three-run homer in the third gave the Braves the 9-1 lead. Two batters before that, Jurrjens helped himself with a 2-RBI double of his own. The teams play again today at 410p on FOX. Javier Vasquez will pitch for the Braves.
IU had a tough game against Louisville yesterday in front of a Louisville record crowd of over 4,000 fans, losing 8-2. The Hoosiers got two runs in the second to take a 2-0 lead, but could not defend the lead due to poor fielding that led to two unearned runs and a 3-2 deficit after two innings. IU allowed two more unearned runs in the fifth to fall behind 5-2. IU ace Eric Arnett did all he could in his 7 innings of work, giving up 1 earned run and striking out 6. The Hoosiers will play Vanderbilt in an elimination game at 3pm today in Louisville.
Both Brownsburg ball teams start sectional play today. The softball team plays Ben Davis in the first semi-final this morning and could play in the finals at 4pm against host and top-ranked Avon. The baseball team will play Manual at noon today. They should win that game and then play the Avon/Tech winner on Monday in the semi-finals. The championship game is on Tuesday at Decatur Central.
