Jonah Heim and Kyle Farmer also contributed with key hits, helping us establish a strong 4-0 lead by the end of the first inning.
Dominant Middle Innings
Our pitching squad was on fire early, with no runs given up through the first three innings. Bryce Elder and the bullpen—featuring Iglesias, R. Suarez, and others—kept Yankees hitters mostly at bay. Into the sixth, DaShawn Keirsey Jr., Albies, and Tavarez added another run, increasing the Braves' lead to 6-1. Meanwhile, defensive plays were solid, showcasing the team's all-around strength and consistency on both sides of the diamond.

Heading into the ninth with a comfortable lead, things got tense. Yankees' Garrett Martin blasted a homer, bringing the game within a single point at 7-6. Fortunately, Trey Abeyta held his nerve on the mound, with key outs including a vital pop-out to Mauricio Dubón at shortstop, to seal the victory for us. What a close one, but the Braves held their own and emerged victorious!
In conclusion, it was a magnificent team effort today—starting strong, persevering through tight moments, and ultimately walking away with the 'W'. Let’s go Braves! Chop on!
