Braves pound out victories over Mets, Yankees

The Braves had their offense in high gear and their pitching and

defense on target during recent Robinwood Little League Majors Division

play.

The Braves beat the Yankees, 8-2, in their first game. Pitchers’

Keegan Greebe and Kevin Powers combined to no-hit the Yanks, and Todd

Locken, who scored twice, provided the Braves with a two-run double.

The Braves used their bats at full throttle to punish the Mets, 20-1.

Every player in the lineup contributed at least one hit.

Andrew Compton went 3 for 3 with a pair of doubles, Kevin Radle and

Ryan Olson each also had three hits, and Olson knocked in five runs in

his four at-bats.

Additionally, Mark Potter had two hits and a pair of RBIs, and Tyson

McInnes had a hit and scored two runs.

Greebe collected the pitching win by only giving up two hits and a run

in three innings of work, while Locken, in relief, faced the minimum

number of hitters, striking out over the final three innings.
