Bats Defeat Braves, 2-1
The Louisville Bats beat the Gwinnett Braves, 2-1, in 10 innings. Louisville pitcher and Belleview, Florida, native Donovan Simms led the way. Louisville pitcher Mike Gehrls got the win. He's now 2-1. Lance Hearty was tagged with the loss. The victory gives Louisville a record of 55-33.

Louisville used the timely hitting of Justin Azevedo to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Bats on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Simms called the win a test of his team's "mettle."
