Matthews Helps Danville Bombard Burlington
The Danville Braves blasted the Burlington Royals, 15-3. Nicholas Matthews was one of the hitting stars. He went 4 for 5 with a home run, a triple, 2 singles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. He scored 5 runs and drove in 3 for Danville. Santiago Roman closed it out for his 1st save. Danville now owns a record of 35-29.

Travis Kujawa had a big run-scoring double for the Braves in the top of the third inning. With Danville leading 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from 18-year old right-handed pitcher Maurice Bracco and swatted a double to left. It was his 10th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Braves ahead, 3-1.

Burlington manager Jim Vickery said: "We got ambushed. We just sashayed into the canyon and they were firing from both sides."
