The Braves playing a 3 game weekend homestand. Starting off picking up a Win beating Kamloops 5-3 in Game 1. Starter Joseph Siniscalchi went 6 strong innings on the mound & the Braves got timely hits including Nico Patella smacking a double driving in 2 runs in the 5th! In the rubber match the Braves bats could not muster up any rally until the 7th, when they shortened the deficit from 8-2 to 8-6 with a runner on & the red hot Michael Stovman up to the plate, but the Braves runner got caught leaning the wrong way & was picked off snuffing out any chance for the comeback! The very next day the Braves played a surging Okanagan Athletic's team & in a great Pitcher's duel, the A's took advantage of some passed balls & an error to score 2 runs, as Braves starter Luke Petreny again produced another gem on the mound giving up 1 hit & only 1 Base on balls; but the difference in this game like most for the Braves has been on the base paths & the Braves added another loss to the standings, 2-1!
