The Braves farm system split four games. Durham fell to Gwinnett 7-6 after Anthony Molina allowed three runs in the fourth and James Karinchak gave up two runs in the eighth. Gwinnett scored early, then went scoreless after the third inning, with Brewer Hicklen and DaShawn Keirsey Jr. each collecting three hits. Brett Wisely contributed two runs and two RBIs. In Knoxville, David McCabe drew a walk and Cal Conley hit a home run with two RBIs, while Lizandro Espinoza added a stolen base. Ian Mejia provided a strong start with two hits and one run over 3.1 innings. Additional highlights included Augusta’s offense led by Luis Guanipa and Tate Southisene, Cade Kuehler’s best start of the season, and Dixon Williams adding another extra-base hit.
"Anthony Molina got the start, and things were looking good through three innings. The Stripers held a 6-1 lead at that time, before Molina imploded a bit and gave up three runs while recording just two outs in the inning. After Daysbel Hernandez came in to get the final out in the fourth, Hunter Stratton went on to allow a run in the fifth inning. Hayden Harris got the next two innings, and didn't allow a run - but also didn't record a strikeout. With a 6-5 lead heading into the eighth the Stripers turned to the usually reliable James Karinchak, and he proceeded to allow two runs to score and picked up the loss. Ian Hamilton pitched a scoreless ninth to finish things off on the pitching side."
"The Gwinnett offense was hot early on, but couldn't score a single run after the third inning. Brewer Hicklen's three for five day was one of two three-hit games, along with DaShawn Keirsey Jr.. Luke Williams had a pair of hits, while Aaron Schunk walked twice, and the following guys all had a single and a walk: Jim Jarvis, Nacho Alvarez, and Ben Gamel. Brett Wisely also had a key game, as he scored twice and batted in a pair of runs in his one for four afternoon."
"Ian Mejia turned in one of his better starts of the year, going three and a third"
