Braves Report

          All four pitchers got pretty well hammered as Milwaukee matched runs and hits in a 13-1 win over the Braves, who watched the pitching collapse late.

          Bryce Wilson coughed up four runs in four innings. Jerry Blevins had a decent two innings with a run, then Huascar Ynoa was smoked for six runs on five hits in an inning. Touki Toussaint walked three toward two runs in the ninth.

          The four struck out six while walking nine.

          Four Milwaukee pitchers gave up only five hits, including a Tyler Flowers solo homer in the fifth that pulled the Braves within 3-1 for a half-inning.

Lexington County nips Macon in slugfest

          It was 5-2 visitors after one, and then 9-3 after seven. Macon tied it with six in the eighth, but Lexington County won the ninth 2-1 to win the game 11-10.

          Cal Gentry (Perry/Georgia College) got the eighth-inning rally going with a two-run, one-out double. Soon, the bases were loaded, and Gentry scored on a fielder’s choice and Jared Miller followed with a three-run homer.

          Lexington County got a one-out RBI double from Josh Gregory, and he came in on a sac fly after reaching third on an error on his hit.

          Gentry and Alec Cargin stroked consecutive triples with two outs for a run in the bottom of the ninth, but the rally ended a batter later. Gentry and Miller had three hits and three RBI each.

          Macon, tied with Savannah, is at Gastonia on Wednesday, hosts the Bananas on Thursday and visits Savannah on Thursday.
