Indy Rallies, Falls in Extra Innings, 6-4

INDIANAPOLIS -Joey Terdoslavich belted a game-tying solo shot to open the bottom of the ninth inning, but Ozzie Albies ripped a two-run homer in the 11^th to give the Gwinnett Braves a 6-4 win over the Indianapolis Indians Saturday night at Victory Field. The G-Braves totaled 15 hits - eight for extra bases - to even the series.

Gwinnett (28-26) was pushed to the brink after sailing through the first seven-and-a-half innings. The Braves scored once in the first, two in the third and another in the eighth to secure a 4-0 lead, but Indianapolis (30-24) staged its comeback late to force extras.
Facing hard-throwing right-handers Mauricio Cabrera and Enrique Burgos in the eighth, the Indians battled to pull within a single run. Austin Meadows walked and Christopher Bostick was beaned ahead of a two-run double by Jason Rogers that cut the deficit in half at 4-2. Following a Danny Ortiz deep flyout to center, Eric Wood walked to put runners at the corners. Josh Lindblom, already having thrown two innings in relief, stepped into the batter's box and pushed a bunt single off the glove of Braves first baseman Carlos Franco. Rogers scored on the play, but Wood was out trying to advance to third.
After Lindblom worked a quick 1-2-3 ninth, Terdoslavich crushed a 1-0 pitch from Rhiner Cruz onto the grass berm beyond the right-field wall, his second long ball of the season.
An infield single by Kyle Kubitza opened the 11^th and knocked Dan Runzler (1-3) out of the game. Edgar Santana then surrendered Albies' third home run of the season to cap the scoring.
Andres Santiago (1-0) earned the win with two hitless innings in relief for the G-Braves.
Neither starter factored into the decision - Indy's Nick Kingham gave up three run on seven hits in 4.1 innings, while Gwinnett's Patrick Weigel tossed five scoreless frames, needing 110 pitches to do so.
The loss dropped the Indians to 3-6 in extra-inning affairs.
The Indians and G-Braves conclude their three-game weekend set Sunday afternoon at Victory Field. The Tribe will send right-hander Clay Holmes (3-1, 3.20) to the mound, opposite Braves righty Lucas Sims (4-3, 3.54). First pitch is set for 1:35 p.m.
