The Braves played only 1 game in week 6 against the 1st place Tri-City Indians. The Indians took the lead in bottom of the 2nd scoring 2 off Braves Starter Michael Stovman, but the Braves rallied back with 3 in their 3rd when Joey Siniscalchi smacked a Double driving in 2 & after reaching 3rd, was hit home on a Sac Fly by Michael Stovman. The Braves scored another in the 4th when Sam Guglielmucci smacked a triple and scored on an overthrow at 3rd. The Indians bats chipped away with 2 more in the 5th to tie the game. The Braves had a couple of chances at home plate but on some close calls were called out twice sending the game into extra innngs. In the top of the 9th the Braves put up 5 led by lead off man Niko Millas reaching base, Parker Opdahl drew a walk bringing up the red hot Joey Siniscalchi who was intentionally walked for the 2nd time this game with runners in scoring position to load the bases for Mr Stovman, Michael smashed a single up the middle to give the Braves the lead, and with some solid at bats by Sammy Googs, Nico Patella & Duncan Stevenson kept the drive alive with the Braves putting up 5 in the 9th. The Braves closer Joey Siniscalchi itching for the win walked the 1st 2 batters but settled down to get a double play ball & the Indians last batter grounded out to give the Braves a huge 9-4 win, keeping them on pace with the top 8 teams in a very competative Bantam AAA league! The Braves undeniably played their best ball of the year. Braves starting pitcher Michael Stovman pitched a steller game keeping the Indians slugger off balance with a mix of fastballs, curves and a devastating change up. Braves Slugger Joey Siniscalchi getting 2 intentional walks with runners in scoring position is a testament to his hitting prowess as savvy Indians manager Randy Downes does not walk intentionally without very good reason. The Braves now look forward to the Queen Victoria Wood Bat Tournament in Richmond this coming weekend.
