JR Graham came on in the ninth to throw a perfect inning adding a strikeout. The middle of the order brought their bats as both Cedric Hunter and Seth Loman went deep, their 14th and 12, respectively. Mycal Jones came in off the bench and tripled, his second of the season. The loss snapped the M-Braves 8-game winning streak.

Blair Walters made the start and threw a beauty, allowing only two hits over six shutout innings. Unfortunately, Mauricio Cabrera, one of the Braves top prospects, allowed two earned runs on three walks without recording an out. It raised his ERA to 5.59 on the season.
Rome Braves 5, Kannapolis Intimidators 7

Jacob Schrader went deep for the second game in a row, but five runs weren't enough for Rome Wednesday. The pitching allowed seven runs, four coming off Matt Kimbrel in his one inning of work. Starter Daniel Cordero had a quality start, allowing six hits over six innings. Conner Lien was hit not once, but twice, also reaching on a single. Connor Oliver legged out his 6th triple from the leadoff spot.

- Oriel L Caicedo: 6IP, 4H, ER, 4BB, 3K
- Tyler Vail: 2IP, H, 0ER, BB, 4K
Another ugly one as both teams combined to commit seven errors. Danville allowed four runs, but only one of the earned variety, but it didn't matter as they pushed across eight runs. Fernelys Sanchez and himself a game, popping his second home run of the season while drawing three walks. Jose Morel had himself a three hit game, finding the hole for three singles while scoring two of the eight D-Braves runs.

- Mitchell Osnowitz: 0.2IP, H, 5ER, 4BB, K
- Jordan Sechler: 4.1IP, 3H, 0ER, BB, 3K
Neither team wanted the season to end, as it took 13 innings before the Tigers took the win. The Braves tried to rally late, but couldn't overcome two unearned runs put up in the top of the 13th. Jordan Sechler took the unfortunate loss despite only allowing three hits over 4+ innings. Garrett Fulenchek tossed a gem in his final start before instructs, allowing only two hits over six innings. Alejandro Flores led the offense, ripping two doubles and a single.
