Braves Lose to Tourists in Walk-Off
The Asheville Tourists needed 11 innings to beat the Rome Braves, 6-5, at McCormick Field. Doug Armstrong, for one, had a fine performance. He was 3-5 with a double and 2 singles. The win belonged to Jay Kelleher in relief. His record improves to 7-1. Doug Mertz took the loss for Rome. The first-place Tourists go to 47-29.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the 11th for Asheville. That's when Andy Gash, who is tied for 3rd in the SAL with a .528 slugging percentage, hit a run-scoring double off Doug Mertz to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

"This place went bonkers at the end," Gash said.
