What's Cookin': In honor of the Mississippi Braves ties to Atlanta, this homestand special is called the "Top Flight Sliders", a round trip of flavor and excitement. With grilled pork medallions smothered in red eye gravy and served on top of cornbread slider buns, this sandwich will take your taste buds for a trip. Served with coleslaw dressed in an apple cider vinaigrette to cut through the richness. This special is taking off from Port Side Grille for $10. 

Featured Merch: Stop by the Bait & Tackle Team Store and pick up our new Nike gear! We've got everyone in the family covered with Dri-FIT t-shirts, ladies' tank tops and youth t-shirts! These items are not available online so stop by today!  

Who to Watch: Keep an eye on the number one overall prospect among Braves farmhands, INF Dansby Swanson. The first overall pick in 2015 has hit seven homers with 37 RBI for Mississippi. According to MLB Pipeline, Swanson is the fifth-best prospect in all of baseball, and his hitting ability is just one of many things scouts rave about.
