Braves 11, Royals 8
Polseno's comeback is sweet
It was a hitters dream as nearly every player on the field got at least one hit. Scoreless until the third, the Royals were able to tack up four runs in the top of the inning by way of old man Dave's first home run of the season. In the bottom of third the Braves matched the Royals and then some, scoring six runs on a two out rally where Chops hit two homers. The Braves would score single runs in the fourth and the fifth to build up an 8-4 lead going into the sixth, but the Royals weren't finished as homers by Mike P, Andy, and Truck tied the game 8-8. The Braves wouldn't be outdone as Chops and Sanchez both reached base and then Tom Polseno hit a three run walkoff bomb to give the Braves their twelfth straight win. Rocket (9-3) picked up the win giving up eight runs off of eleven hits and six strikeouts. Andy (0-2) took the loss for the Royals giving up eleven runs off of seven hits, eight walks, and striking out six batters.
