"Thursday night wasn't a great day to be a pitcher in the Atlanta Braves system. The best team outing was Rome allowing five runs in seven innings, and the worst was a large, large step below that. However, most of the games remained close thanks to big time home runs, including many of the top prospects in the system."
"Dixon Williams has been on fire for Rome and continued that with a long home run for his fifth of the season, helping lift the Emperors to the only win on the farm. In Augusta Alex Lodise and Luis Guanipa went back-to-back on solo home runs, and the team as a whole had four of them."
"Schay Schanaman lived dangerously for two innings before it all fell to pieces, starting in the third inning with his third hit batter of the day. Schanaman let up three hits and three runs before being pulled with one out, and Samuel Strickland struggled to stanch the bleeding. Strickland let up a back-breaking two-run bomb that capped a chaotic frame, and Biloxi's 5-0 lead looked to be the stuff of nightmares for a Columbus squad who had yet to find their way the first time through the order."
"The Columbus Clingstones charged back in the ninth inning of this game, giving Biloxi a late run for their money in a bid to steal a game, but a breakout performance from Ambioris Tavarez fell tantalizingly short of lifting Columbus to victory. Pitching was a pretty massive problem for Columbus in this game and they weren't sending out the A-squad to try to shut down the Shuckers."
Rome allowed five runs in seven innings, while other outings were worse, yet many games stayed close due to home runs. Dixon Williams hit a long home run for his fifth of the season, leading Rome to the only farm win. In Augusta, Alex Lodise and Luis Guanipa hit back-to-back solo home runs, and the team totaled four homers. In Columbus, pitching problems created an early deficit, with Shay Schanaman taking hits and runs before being pulled. Samuel Strickland then allowed a back-breaking two-run home run during a chaotic inning. Columbus attempted a ninth-inning rally, but Ambioris Tavarez’s breakout effort fell short.
