The Braves shake up their lineup looking for a spark and come through with a clutch come from behind victory over Somerville at Rogers. Somerville had plenty of chances early. In the first 3 innings, the Braves defense twice turned double plays with the bases loaded to end Somerville threats.

Sullivan then had a SAC-Fly, Hudson a 2-run double, Ramsdell an RBI single and Koris a 2-run triple to round out the scoring for the Braves.

Rockies ace Mike McCarthy (4-0)turns in another dominating performance taking a PERFECT GAME 6 1/3 innings. After retiring the first batter of the seventh, the Braves James Ramsdell belted a triple to spoil perfect game and the no-hitter. The Braves also avoid the shutout as Ramsdell scored on the following batter's ground-out. Certainly worth a mention was veteran centerfielder Dave Mitrou's total disregard for his body to make a spectacular diving catch on a fourth ininng gap shot, which at the time was instrumental in preserving McCarthy's gem. Offensively, Dan Jalbert continued to lead the Rockies' offensive attack tallying 3 more hits including a line-drive blast over the left field fence for his first homer of 2009. Gary Moran chipped in with two more hits.

The Brewers got out to an early lead, putting up 4 in the 1st (keyed by a 2 RBI single by Brendan Klaes). That was plenty for Kevin Christina, who collected 6 Ks while allowing only 1 earned run en route to his league-leading 5th win. Pete Lankarge provided 4 solid innings of relief for the Braves, collecting 4 Ks, but there was not enough offensive support to overcome their early deficit.
