Sunday Afternoon Victory for Rome

The Rome Braves took the final game of the four game series 3-2 over the Asheville Tourists Sunday afternoon at State Mutual Stadium in front of 2,001 fans. It was Rome's first win of the season.

The Braves took a 2-0 lead in the second when Ozzy Albies stroked a two out, two run single giving Rome the lead. Asheville cut the lead in half with a run in the third on an errant pick- off attempt by Alec Glosser allowing Kevin Padlo to cross the plate. The Braves added a much needed insurance run in the fifth on an RBI groundout by Jordan Edgerton for the 3-1 lead. The Tourists added a run in the eighth but Rome's bullpen did the job and held the lead for the 3-2 final.     

Carlos Salazar gets the win (1-0) and Carlos Polanco (0-2) the loss. Jorge Zavala is credited with the save.
