The Braves entered weak 8 hoping to regain some ground in league play. The Game vs Cloverdale was cancelled due to rain so the Braves had to wait until the weekend for a doubleheader vs Abbotsford. In the 1st game the Braves got off to a good start scoring 2 in the 1st off Niko Millas's single, driven in by Luke Petreny's double & then Luke scored when James Bradwell hit a single. The Angels replied with 1 in the 1st and 2nd then scored 4 in the 3rd. The Braves replied with 2 in the 4th after a Joseph Siniscalchi double & Michael Stovman walk, Nico Patella hit a blooper into the gap to drive in the pair, the Braves closed the gap with a run in the 5th when Seth Injates crossed the plate. The Angels added 1 more in the 6th to take the W by a score of 7-5; James Bradwell Pitched a great game and was the victim of circumstance, the same circumstances the Braves have faced away from Kensington Park most of the year to date. In Game 2 the Braves handed the ball to Luke Petreny who gave up 4 hits in 6 innings but the Angels took advantage of some good base running, passed balls & scored 3 un-earned runs for a 3-0 win as the Braves bats could not muster any sort of rally against the junkball Chucker the Angels Pitched. The next day the Braves hoping to stop a 3 game losing streak visited the LA Dodgers in Aldergrove, the Braves again good off to a good start scoring 1 in the 1st, but things fell apart for the Braves after that, with some misplayed balls in the 3rd allowed the Dodgers to score 8 & 5 more in the 4th, cruising to a 14-1 victory!
