Buck Bacot did all he could to give the Braves a boost, but it wasn't enough to get past Musselman Applemen, as the Braves lost 5-2 in seven innings at Socastee on Saturday.

Bacot did his best to jumpstart the offense for the Braves, reaching base two times. He singled in the third inning.

Chris Schleos got it done on the hill on the way to a win. He allowed two runs over seven innings. Schleos struck out five, walked two and gave up five hits.

The top of the second saw Musselman Applemen take an early lead, 1-0. Musselman Applemen's threat began with a single by Jacob Whitmore. A single by Tyler Gross then moved Whitmore from first to second. Hunter Dalton singled, plating Whitmore.

The Braves scored one run of their own in the second. The Braves scored on an RBI single by Jason Farria.

Musselman Applemen didn't relinquish the lead after scoring one run in the third inning when it scored on an RBI double by Whitmore.

Musselman Applemen piled on two more runs in the top of the seventh. The inning looked promising, as Whitmore singled, scoring Maverick Keller to kick things off. That was followed up by Gross' single, bringing home Darrin Zombro.
