Braves Start Strong with Power Hits! 
️
What a way to start the night for our Atlanta Braves! The bats were smoking hot in the first inning as Matt Olson crushed a massive 393-foot homer to center, bringing home Austin Riley who impressively reached base on a walk. Not to be outdone, Marcell Ozuna followed with an electrifying 417-foot blast to left center.
By the end of the inning, we were up 3-0 against the Red Sox, and the game already felt like ours to lose.Solid Performance in the Middle Innings 
The boys didn't stop there! In the 3rd inning, Drake Baldwin added to the run tally, belting his own 416-foot homer to right, plating Ozuna and increasing our lead to 5-0. Our defense kept the pressure on, with consecutive outs securing our advantage despite a slight hiccup in the 3rd when Jarren Duran homered for the Red Sox. By the 4th, Riley added another run, putting us ahead 6-2. Things were looking stellar!
A Tough Finish 
As we moved into the final innings, the Red Sox fought back. Their lineup chipped away at our lead, leading to a tense 8th inning where they tied the score at 6-6. Going into the bottom of the 9th, our hopes were high, but the prowess of Rafael Devers clinched it for Boston with a walk-off homer. The game ended 6-7. Although not the result we wanted, we have so much to be proud of, Braves Nation. Let's bounce back stronger next game!
