The Stripers hit a season-high five home runs. Johan Camargo, Jason Kipnis, Eddie Rosario, Yolmer Sanchez, and Jonathan Morales went deep for Gwinnett (54-40).

Former Brave Ender Inciarte went 1-for-5 for Louisville.

Elder (1-0) allowed two runs on three hits in five innings. He walked three, struck out six and gave up one homer.
