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.
