Atlanta Braves--
It was a 5th straight win recorded by the Braves last night in Atlanta, after the 5-2 decision over the San Diego Padres. Tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 7th inning, newcomer Greg Norton delivered a bases-loaded single for the Atlanta lead--the Braves added 2 more runs in the inning. The offense supported the pitching of Tim Hudson who got the victory with 7 strong innings of work on the hill. The Braves at 17-15 are now 2 games over .500 for the first time this season. They own the best home record in the major leagues, at 13-4. This afternoon in a 1:05 start from Turner Field, the Braves go for the 3-game series sweep of the Padres.
Georgia Tech-Joe Hamilton--
Former Georgia Tech quarterback Joe Hamilton has stepped down from his new position at his alma mater after he was slapped with drug and alcohol charges earlier this week. Hamilton said Wednesday he will immediately resign as the school's assistant director of player personnel. Hamilton was charged with marijuana possession, driving under the influence of alcohol and hit-and-run early Tuesday. The charges came less than a week after he was hired as a coach at the school. The 31-year-old Hamilton also was charged with having an open bottle of beer in his Ford Expedition when arrested by Georgia Tech police shortly after midnight. Hamilton starred for Tech in the late 90's, and led the program to the 1998 ACC football championship.
