Thanks to some clutch swings, the Atlanta Braves’ minor league affiliates were able to stitch together a nice 3-1 slate on Saturday. Bryce Elder had a good start for Gwinnett backed up by the long ball for the offense, Rome was able to rally to win in extras, and Mississippi faltered late in the lone loss of the evening. Let’s get into the games.
