Braves 10 Brewers 8

This game was highlighted by one big inning for each team and Brewers runners getting thrown out on the bases.  The offense started right from the start as the Brewers scored twice in the top of the first with the help of a couple Braves errors. The Braves answered in the bottom of the inning with a single run. In the second inning the Brewers exploded for 6 runs highlighted by a Mike Gazo home run and RBI's by Jason Krottner, Mark Keenan, Jon Zywicki, and Keith Blouin. The score remained at 8-1 until the bottom of the third when the wheels fell off for the Brewers starting pitcher Jason Krottner, as the Braves scored 8 runs in the inning, 7 off Krottner and one off of Gazo. The Braves put together 8 straight hits in the inning, highlighted by a Brian Samuel double. The Braves added one run in the fourth and went on to shut down the Brewers with good pitching and defense behind Keating and Gilroy. The Brewers were able to get 8 baserunner's in the last 4 innings but couldn't get any runs as the Braves held on for the comeback win.
