Braves Come Back Late to Top Pirates, 3-2
In a low-scoring game between the Danville Braves and the Bristol Pirates, pitcher Nate Stursa was the difference-maker. The Danville right-hander was tough as nails in the 3-2 Braves win. Stursa, now 1-0, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 5, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. Danville is 20-12 and Bristol, with the loss, 13-19.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher John Broyles came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Bristol pitcher Edwin Morales, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Danville on top, 3-2.

"Gutsy performance by Nate," said Danville manager Jairo Escobar.
