Georgia sports for Tuesday, September 18th

The Braves opened their final homestand of the season last night by blasting the Marlins 11-6 at Turner Field in Atlanta. Andruw Jones knocked a home run, while Jeff Francouer reached 100 RBI’s for the 2nd straight season. John Smoltz got the pitching win, his 14th of the season—-he worked 6 innings, with 4 hits and a run allowed.

From the NFL, the Falcons have dusted-off an old relic--again. They’ve signed 47-year-old kicker Morten Anderson for a third stint with the team. Anderson replaces a rookie, as Matt Prater was waived. Prater missed 3-of-4 field goal attempts in only 2 games with the Falcons, including 2 misses Sunday at Jacksonville.
