Braves Pull Out Late Win, 9-8
The Atlanta Braves topped the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 9-8. Leading the way was designated hitter Blake Wall. Wall went 2 for 4 with a home run. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Braves. Pete Fordyce snagged the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on no hits over 1.1 innings. He's now 2-0 on the season. Atlanta, now 8-5, has gotten their season off to a good start.

The game was at a stalemate until left fielder Stuart Freeman came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Pittsburgh pitcher Jose Gonzalez, he hit a 2-1 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Atlanta on top, 9-8.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Freeman. "But I like how we're playing right now."
