In the 6th, Uberti hit a shot to deep center and kept running as the EB outfielder had trouble corralling the ball in the odd terrain of Towne Field's outfield to get the Braves within one. In the same inning after a single and a walk, Caminiti drove a blast over the fence in right center to put the Braves ahead. Perlis started and went 6 for the Braves to earn his team leading 5th win. Conor McDonough relieved Perlis and had a 1-2-3 7th to earn his first YBL save. McBride (2-3, RBI, BB) and Mercado (2-4, 2 RBI) led the Knights offense on the night.

Braves come from behind, scoring 6 in the 6th to beat Somerville. The YBL strikeout leaders faced off against each other at Rogers Park - Martins vs. Foundas. The Braves looked to get on the board early, having 2nd and 3rd with no outs in the 1st but Foundas managed to work out of the jam with no damage. The Braves would manage to plate 3 in the 2nd with singles from Hudson and Cashman (3 RBI). Somerville would fight back with 1 run in the 4th on a Tomaro single and 3 in the 5th on a Scioli 3-run double. The Braves broke it open in the 6th on 2 walks, 2 hit batsmen, 2 1-run singles by Kerbin and Caminiti and a Schools Sac Fly. Scioli led the Alibrandis offense going 3-4, 2 2B and 3 RBI. Maguire (RBI) and Adessa (R) had 2 hits each. Web gem of the night goes to Maguire for making a diving grab in center robbing Schools of a hit in the 6th. With the Minutemen idle, the Braves regain first place in the Pesky Division for now.

Michienzi pitched a gem for the Dodgers (6 IP, 0 R, 5 H, 4 K) before being relieved after the 6th but didn't factor into the decision.
