In a rematch of last year's 1st round series, these 2 teams picked up right where they left off, battling back and forth in another nailbiter.

Braves answer in the next frame with 4 runs, capped by a tremendous 3-run double to left center by Uberti. The A's chipped away with another run in the 4th, and tied it up in the 6th on a mammoth HR to left by Katsi. In the top of the 7th, after two quick outs, Teddy Ballgame draws a walk, Robb singles, and Uberti comes up huge again with an RBI single to right, giving them the 5-4 lead. The A's put men on 1st & 3rd in the 7th, but Smitty induces a 4-3 grounder to end the game. Braves earn 1st postseason victory since 1981.

The Braves improve to 2-0 as Mike Smith goes 5 strong (1 ER, 3 H, 7 K) to get the win in his Braves debut. His only blemish was a homer deep to right off the bat of Nick Ahearn in the 3rd. Nine different Braves had hits in the game. Tied 1 all in the 6th, Risk clubbed a monster triple to left to start the Braves rally. RBI singles by Cashman, Kerbin, Caminiti, Anderson and Hudson pushed the Braves out on top for good. Minutemen made it interesting in the 7th scoring 2 runs after loading the bases with no outs. Schlesinger stopped the bleeding with a strikeout, a ground out and a little help from his defense to earn the save. With 1 out and the bases still loaded, Levensaler singled to center to score one run, but a perfect relay from Anderson to Uberti to Risk cut down the runner from second trying to score. Ahearn went 2-3 for the Minutemen with a homer, RBI and 2 runs scored.

After a lead-off single by Hanley, the Braves commit 3 errors in a row. Lankarge managed to work out of the jam and limit the damage to only the 2 runs.

In the 4th, Tracy turned in a web gem with a spectacular, full-extension, diving catch at second base. Great start to the 2013 season for the Braves who manage their first opening day win in over a decade.
