PEORIA — After such a promising freshman year, this has been mostly a lost season for Dwayne Lautier-Ogunleye.

The sophomore guard from London lost his starting job and eventually most of his minutes, as turnover woes mounted and freshmen passed him in the rotation. In the last six games before Saturday, he had totaled just one point and didn't get off the bench in three of them.

So it came as a bit of a surprise that DLO found himself playing a crucial role in the Braves' biggest comeback victory in two years.
