Rome out-pitches the Tourists, and Mississippi's ninth inning threat falls short.
The ole friend of the Gwinnett Braves, Steven Lerud, took advantage of the Braves pitching, as he now plays for Syracuse. He scored all four runs for the Chiefs by going 3-4 with a 2 run homer in the seventh while connecting with a pair of RBI singles in the second and ninth. Gwinnett scored their only run of the game in the last inning off an Adonis Garcia RBI ground out. Greg Smith tossed a good game for the Braves as he went seven innings but just let two mistake pitches get away for Lerud take advantage of.
