How the winning run scored: Down 4-3, the G-Braves used a walk, two singles, a hit batsman, two wild pitches, a passed ball and Stefan Gartrell's three run homer for a five-run sixth inning to take the lead for good, and put an end to a three game losing streak.
At the plate: Joey Terdoslavich was 3-for-5 with a homer and two RBI. Brandon Boggs went 2-for-4 and Joe Leonard added a 1-for-4 game to extend his hitting streak to 10 games. The Braves scored a season high 11 runs.
On the mound: G-Braves pitchers gave up 14 hits including two home runs. Starter Daniel Rodriguez was pulled in the fourth with an apparent pitching arm injury. Left hander Joe Beimel, just up to Gwinnett after an extended spring training recovering from Tommy John surgery last May got the win in relief. He gave up two runs, including a home run, on three hits and a walk.
Up next for Gwinnett: The G-Braves (25-33) and IronPigs (26-30) close out the four game series Monday in Allentown, Pa. The G-Braves return home at 6:05 p.m. Tuesday for four each against the Rochester Red Wings and the Columbus Clippers.
