The Braves started off slowly, but used a big 7th inning to beat the Giants 11-3. Atlanta started the seventh inning by getting the first 6 batters on base, including a tie-breaking triple by Matt Diaz and a two-run homer by Ryan Church. Chipper Jones and Garrett Anderson both homered early in the game to tie the score after the Giants put two runs on the board against Atlanta pitcher Tommy Hanson. Hanson gave up 3 runs in 7 innings to get his 5th win of the season against zero losses. The two teams play tonight at 710p. Derek Lowe will pitch for the Braves. The Braves are still 6.5 games out in the NL East because the Phillies have won 9 games in a row. However, Atlanta is 4 games out in the wild card race with 5 teams ahead of them.
The Brownsburg 12s fought their way out of the loser's bracket to beat Plainfield 9-0 in the championship game of the District 8 Majors tourney.
