Braves Get Clutch Win Versus Lexington
The Rome Braves besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Lexington second baseman Tony Cuevas by beating the Legends, 8-7, at State Mutual Stadium. Cuevas went 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs. Rome is 54-55 and Lexington, with the loss, 59-50.

The Braves got a big hit from shortstop Guadalupe Moreno. In the bottom of the eighth, Moreno smacked a grand slam home run off Lexington pitcher Garrett Youngblood. It was his 2nd home run of the season. Suddenly, the Braves were ahead, 8-7.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Lexington manager Danny Ortiz. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."
