The Braves wrapped up their series against the Cubs with a 5-4 victory last night at Turner Field, and earning a split of the 4-game series. Trailing 4-2, the Braves came up with 3 runs in their half of the 8th inning. Scott Thorman knocked an RBI-double, and later Willie Harris scored the eventual winning run on a wild pitch.
The Braves with wins in their last 2 games were able to make their homestand respectable, going 3-5. They are now within 2-and-a-half games of the Mets' lead in the NL-East division. Atlanta begins an interleague road trip Tuesday, opening a series in Minnesota.
Two University of Georgia football players have found off-the-field trouble. Blake Barnes and Tripp Chandler were both arrested early Sunday morning on alcohol charges. 21-year-old Barnes is a 3rd string quarterback with the Bulldogs. He was arrested on an open-container violation and giving alcohol to minors. Chandler is 20-years-old and starting tight end for Georgia--he was charged with underage possession of alcohol and an open container. Athletics department policy indicates that both players must miss at least 10-percent of the upcoming season.
