It was a solid night for the Atlanta Braves minor league system. Though Mississippi lost its bout to Mother Nature and was rained out, Gwinnett and Florida were able to walk away victorious. A once-top prospect looked the part, while the Fire Frogs got above .500 with a thrilling late-inning rally ending in walk-off style.
Let’s take a look at the top performers.
