It was a "going-long" day today at Trustman Park in Pearl, Mississippi. Three
home runs including the game winner. In the bottom of the ninth Mississippi
Braves left-fielder Brandon Jones crushed a full-count Chris Young pitch for a
1-on, nobody-out walk-off home run and a 3-2
win over the Carolina Mudcats. The Mudcats had led the game since taking a
2-1 advantage in the 5th. Young only gave up two round-trips in all of last
season.
The only other Mississippi run in the game was a solo shot by the
Braves catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, his third homer of
the year. Both Carolina runs were driven in by a Jai Miller dinger in the 5th, his first of the year.
