What's up! It's June 28th and we're 4 games deep into a 6 game series with Birmingham. This series has been UNREAL so far. If you haven't heard by now, Tommy Hanson pitched a no-hitter in game two of this sereis. For Tommy, it was the first no-hitter he's thrown since little league and and the first one in the Southern League this season.
The last 3 innings were so much fun to watch, as the drama began to mount. Tommy ended up striking out 14, walking 2 and hitting 2 batters. After the game, I went to hang out in the clubhouse and ended up in Phillip Wellman's office with Pitching Coach Derrick Botelho, Big Leaguer, Mark Kotsay and Tommy Hanson. Tommy Hanson's father was there as well and it was great to see him following his son's no-hitter.
Phillip Wellman took the line up card from the dugout wall and gave it to Tommy so he can frame it and keep it. It was a great time hearing all of those guys talk about the no-hitter and other stories from the past......between the people in that room, they have seen A LOT of baseball.
The no-hitter was great but things have been getting better and better. The Braves won the next night and last night and have now won 12 of their last 15 games. This team is on a roll and you can tell by how positive things are in the clubhouse. The Braves have been doing everything right latelly and it shows in the win column.
There are 2 games left in this series......come on down to the PArk and check out the action, because this team is playing really hard.

Till next time, Later....
