Braves Strike First with Explosive Start!
What a fabulous opening innings for the Braves!
Jurickson Profar got us rolling with a single to right, setting the stage for some fantastic hitting. Matt Olson absolutely smashed it with a double, bringing Profar home! Ronald Acuña Jr. kept the momentum going with another double to right, scoring Olson. It was smooth sailing as Ozzie Albies hit a sacrifice fly to bring Acuña Jr. in. By the end of the 1st inning, we led 3-0! 
Braves Extend Their Lead!
The boys kept their bats hot in the 3rd inning. Albies took center stage with a powerful homer to right, bringing in Drake Baldwin and Sean Murphy. What a play, Ozzie! By the end of the 3rd, we were sitting pretty ahead 6-0! Later, Acuña Jr. tripled and Baldwin brought him home with an infield single to make it 7-0 at the end of the 4th. The energy at the ballpark was electric!
Strong Defense and Closing the Game!
The Yankees made an effort in the 7th inning, with Giancarlo Stanton coming in as a pinch hitter to double and score a couple of runs. However, our bullpen stepped up big time! Kudos to Aaron Bummer and Joe Jiménez for shutting down any hopes of a Yankee comeback. Raisel Iglesias wrapped things up snugly in the 9th with a clean and efficient outing, sealing our victory at 7-3! The Braves looked mighty impressive tonight! Way to go, team!
