Braves win pair of one run games
The Braves did things the hard way last week as they earned a pair
of one run victories in Majors Division play at Robinwood Little League.
They needed seven innings Saturday to subdue the Mets, 6-5. In the bottom
of the seventh inning, Kevin Powers, Todd Locken, and Cory Kotler each
drew a walk to load the bases before Stephen Powers produced a two-strike
single through a drawn in infield to score the winning run.
Stephen Powers also had an RBI triple in the first inning.
Locken picked up the pitching win by throwing four solid innings while
giving up just one run in relief.
Brandon Gladu had a two-RBI single for the Mets.
In shading the Cardinals, 3-2, Kotler had an RBI single, Bryan Komswiet
and Kevin Powers both had two hits, and Victory Ordonez preserved the
victory by throwing out the Cardinals’ potential tying run at the plate.
