The Mississippi Braves, in partnership with Gold Glove Charites, recognized local youth on Saturday by wearing the name of a child battling cancer on the back of each specially designed jersey. Those jerseys were sold via silent auction with funds going towards custom-designed, once-in-a-lifetime experiences for local children battling cancer.
Birmingham scored all three of their runs in the top of the third inning.
For the second time in three games, a Birmingham starter was perfect through 3.0 innings.
Once again the M-Braves' bullpen was fantastic.
The Barons clinched the season series, taking six of ten meetings in 2019 from the Braves.
The M-Braves begin the second-leg of the 11-game homestand on Sunday and welcome the Pensacola Blue Wahoos for six games in five days. RHP
