Rome left fielder Michael Andonian picked up 3 ribbies while helping his team beat back the Lexington Legends, 6-5. Andino Canigiani, 7-10, earned the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 2 innings. The third-place Braves improved to 72-64.

Andonian had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 1-2 fastball from Chad Belz, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Braves a 6-5 lead. It was the 8th home run of the year for Andonian.

"Michael was ready to go. Big day for him," said Rome manager Tim Helfrich.
