Gwinnett Braves Come Home Tied for First

Another shutout as Durham falls.

The Gwinnett Braves got a second straight shutout from their pitching staff Friday and earned a 5-0 victory over Durham in Durham, N.C. The win means the G-Braves now are tied with Durham for first place in the International League South.

Yohan Flande went 6 2/3 innings and allowed three hits to earn the win. Jeff Fiorentino homered and Stefan Gartrell was 2-for-4 for the G-Braves.

The G-Braves begin a four-game series against Indianapolis on Saturday (7:05 p.m.) at Coolray Field. The first 2,000 children 12-under who attend will receive a Gwinnett Braves backpack.
