Braves vs Sox 07/14/2009
 

With the lack of players the Braves came out strong and played both games with 8 guys.  Jesse Lehman pitched a strong full game and only game up 3 runs with striking out 4 and only giving up 6 hits.  He was backed up by a great defense and an even stronger offense.  Baker scored twice, Stanifer scored once with 2 hits, 2 RBI's, and a triple.  Beck scored twice with 2 hits and a double.  The big hitter of the day though was Damion Cox who had 3 hits, 2 runs, 5 RBI's and a big HR to lead the offense and the team in a 8-3 victory.  Cox also earned Player of the Game honors.

The second game was a lot like the first game with the Braves only having 8 guys.  Baker started the game pitching and only gave up 3 hits, 3 strike outs, and no runs on 4 innings pitched.  Next Rippee came in to finish the game by giving 1 run, 2 hits, 1 walk, and striking out 3.  Overall great defense and great pitching to hold the Sox to a low offensive outing.  Braves offense was strong with Baker getting 1 run and a triple.  Stanifer had 2 hits, 1 run, 1 RBI, and 2 doubles.  Lehman had 1 hit, 1 run, 2 RBI's, and a double.  Once again though Cox came through big with 2 hits, 1 run, 2 RBI's, and a triple.  The Braves took the game and series with a final score of 6-1 and Damion Cox once again recieved the Player of the Game honors.
