Mon, 22 July, 7:30PM, at Rogers Park
Brighton Braves 6, Revere Rockies 3
Braves make it 9 in a row! Lankarge again goes all 7 scattering 8 hits, 4 K's & limiting the powerful Rockies offense to 2 ER. Robb was left hitless to end his streak at 14 while Smith laced a rocket line drive to center in the 6th to extend his to 10.
Rockies score 1 in 1st & 2nd on RBI singles by Santosuosso & Moran. Braves answer in the 2nd on a Cashman double followed by RBI singles by Kerbin, Risk and Lee. Braves get some insurance in the 7th on 2 HBPs, BB, Sac Fly and a Rockies throwing error. Rockies make things interesting in the 7th, after a line-out and a Braves throwing error, get consecutive hits, scoring a run & loading the bases. Lankarge induces a grounder up the middle, handled by Lee for the game ending double play.
Swaz (2 RBI) & DelRio led the Rockies offense with 2 hits each. Rockies pitching combine for 8 Ks on the night.
Braves get a much needed 2 day rest before taking on the streaking Saints on Thursday |
