Gwinnett catcher Recker hits eighth home run

Anthony Recker blasted a walk-off home run leading off the 10th inning, giving the Gwinnett Braves a 4-3 victory over the Indianapolis Indians on Wednesday night at Coolray Field in Lawrenceville.

Recker hit his fifth home run since June 12th and eighth of the season (sixth with Gwinnett). He has 25 RBIs and is hitting .250.

The G-Braves (33-40) were held without a hit through eight innings and trailed 3-0, but Recker led off the ninth with a clean single off reliever Trey Haley.

The G-Braves had been held down by Indians’ starter Tyler Glasnow, who didn’t allow a hit in seven innings.
