Mississippi was the only Braves affiliate to post a win yesterday, and they did thanks largely in part to a career day from super utility man Barrett Kleinknecht. "Klank," as he's nicknamed, blasted a pair of home runs, singled, drew a walk, and scored three times. It was the first multi-homer game of his career. Meanwhile, Tommy La Stella extended his team-record hitting streak to 23 games with a bases-clearing, go-ahead 3 RBI double in the fourth inning.

Ugly game last night for Lynchburg, as they were four-hit by the Dash. Kyle Kubitza was the only Hillcat to reach base more than once, with a single and a walk. Jarrett Miller struck out 6 men in 4.1 innings of work, but was victimized by 2 Dash home runs.
Augusta Green Jackets 7, Rome Braves 4

- Frank Lafreniere, SP: 5.2 IP, 10 H, 5 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 5.93 ERA
Rome lost to Augusta last night despite a perfect night at the plate from Carlos Franco. The Rome third baseman reached base in all 5 plate appearances, with 2 singles, 2 walks, and a double. Kyle Wren flashed his speed, legging out a triple as part of a 2-5 night. Unfortunately for Rome's offense, starter Frank Lafreniere was shelled over his 5.2 innings of work. He allowed 5 runs on 10 hits.
GCL Braves 6, GCL Phillies 9
- Cody Livesay, CF: 2-4, BB, SB(12), .311

Sean Gilmartin rehabbed with the GCL team last night and looked great, allowing 1 hit and nothing else through 4 innings of work. He also whiffed 6 men. Unfortunately, the GCL pen promptly blew the game by allowing 9 runs after Gilmartin came out. Cody Livesay continued his strong leadoff work for the GCL Braves, while Ian Hagenmiller reached base 4 times.
