Braves Nipped, 4-2, by Kansas City (SS-A)
The Kansas City (SS-A) Royals took Atlanta (SS-A) pitcher Jon Abeyta's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Rocketmen Stadium. The final score had Kansas City (SS-A) getting past the Braves, 4-2. Abeyta went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs, striking out 4. Jason Oakes, now 2-2, was credited with the win in 1.1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 3 and walking 1. Theron Koulpasis earned the save, his 1st.

Matt Justus came through with a big-time hit for Kansas City (SS-A). The shortstop smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 4-2. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

In comments to the Kansas City (SS-A) Gazette, Justus admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."

The last-place Braves now sit at 11-16.
