Georgia sports for Wednesday, November 7th

Two Atlanta Braves players have been honored with Gold Glove awards. Centerfielder Andruw Jones won his 10th for defensive excellence. However, Jones is likely to leave the team as a free agent, as the Braves a few weeks ago announced they wouldn’t be able to match his expected asking price for salary. The other Gold Glove went to rightfielder Jeff Francouer, the 1st of his young career.

On the ice, the Atlanta Thrashers continue their resurgence after an 0-6 start. They were on home ice last night, knocking off the Washington Capitals 2-1 in overtime. Todd White scored the game winner, while Ilya Kovalchuk posted his NHL-leading 13th goal in the game.

NBA action—-the Atlanta Hawks were losers on the road in New Jersey, 87-82.
