Braves Win by Slim Margin, 3-2
In a low-scoring affair between the Rome Braves and the Asheville Tourists, pitcher Francisco Caban was the difference between victory and defeat. The Rome right-hander earned accolades for his stellar performance in the 3-2 Braves win. Doug Mertz snagged the win in relief. He goes to 5-5 on the season. Jay Kelleher suffered the loss. After today's action, Rome sits at 45-47, while Asheville falls to 55-37.

The decisive blow was delivered by George Gordon in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Jay Kelleher to win the game for Rome. The home crowd went nuts.

"This game will punch you right in the mouth," said Caban. "My job is to show up and give my team a chance."
