Braves Drop Smokies, 7-6
Tennessee catcher Héctor Vargas had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Vargas was 2-3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 times, even as Mississippi beat the Smokies, 7-6. Mississippi pitcher Seth Lonsway got the win, upping his record to 6-4. Harrison Bailey got the loss. Cole McDonald earned the save for Mississippi, his 7th of the year.

Mississippi used the bat of Zac Veen to get the win. The left fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Braves ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Veen said.

Mississippi improves to 49-34 with the win. They lead their division by 2½ games.
