Blanchard Helps Atlanta Cruise to 10-3 Win
A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the Atlanta Braves and Carolina Catamounts.

The Atlanta Braves coasted to a win over the Carolina Catamounts, 10-3. Rob Blanchard had a good day at the plate for Atlanta. He was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Desiderio Volpe, the winning pitcher, improved to 6-4. He pitched 7.2 innings, giving up 7 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 5 and walking 0.

Atlanta took a 5-2 lead on Blanchard's 19th double of the season. The 2-run double, which he hit off Ed Huffman in the top of the sixth, propelled Atlanta to the win.

"If we play well, we'll win our share of games," said Blanchard. "The only team that can beat us is us."

The Braves, at 98-53, sit in first place in the National League Southern Division.
