Braves Get Clutch Win Versus Kannapolis
The Kannapolis Cannon Ballers got a superb performance from pitcher Dusty Dinkins. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Rome. The Braves won the game, 1-0. Dinkins threw 6.1 innings of shutout ball. Gula Chinouyazue, credited with the win in relief, is now 2-0. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.2 innings. Earning the save was Josh Mulherin. He's now cashed in 11 of 15 save opportunities.

Had Joe Lyon not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Lyon hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 1-0, in favor of the Braves.

"We're one win closer to our goal," Lyon said in postgame remarks.

Rome, at 70-52, sits in third place in the South Atlantic League Southern Division.
