The 2013 Braves saw their first action of the season, winning 2 & losing 2. In the first game vs White Rock Tritons. Down 7-2 in the bottom of the seventh the Braves got some timely hits and with the bases loaded, Michael Stovman smashed a bases clearing double to tie the game up and with a play at the plate Michael ended up on third base with none out, the unfortunate White Rock closer then balked in the winning run to give the Braves their first victory of the year. In the Braves next game vs Okotoks Red Dawgs of Calgary Alberta, the Braves again came from behind, winning 8-4. The next day the Braves faced the home team Kamloops Riverdogs and were leading for most of the game, in the bottom of the 5th some untimely errors allowed the Riverdogs to score 3 and take the lead, due to time limit rules the Braves could not muster a comeback and lost 8-7. In the Consolation game the Braves faced the North Shore Twins and lost, of note in this game was the Braves first Homer of the season; Josef Siniscalchi hit a monster shot over the 300 foot fence, igniting the Braves bench.

The Braves coaching Staff would like to thank Christian Gilchrist and Noah Hanson-Stafford, 2 AA players called up to the AAA team due to 3 regulars missing the tournament. The boys held there own making some key plays and showed that Burnaby has some depth in it's Bantam program!
