Burl II Goes 5-for-5, Braves Slide Past Grambling 15-10

Redshirt Junior Earl Burl II recorded probably his best game of his career in the Braves win tonight at the MLB Urban Youth Invitational

Outfielder Earl Burl went a remarkable 5-for-5 from the plate tonight as the Braves picked up their second win of the season against Grambling 15-10 on day two of the MLB Urban Youth Invitational in New Orleans.

Colton Laird got the Braves going in the DH slot hitting a double to left-center field.  Burl stepped in next and hit a triple to right-center field to score Laird and the Braves were ahead 1-0.  Collin Carroll would single to score Burl to give the Braves a 2-0 lead.

Grambling tied the game after scoring a run in the second and third innings.  Burl recorded his second RBI of the game on a single to score Moses Charles from second base.

The Tigers would tie the game again in the fourth inning before the Braves regained the lead in the fifth on a lead off homerun by Burl (1st of the season) to make the score 4-3.

In the top of the sixth, the Braves gave up a three RBI homerun by the Tigers which gave them a 7-4 lead.  But the Braves collected three in the bottom of the sixth led by Scottie Peavey's homerun (1st of the season).

After a scoreless seventh inning by the Tigers, the Braves put together a huge inning in the bottom of the seventh by scoring seven runs.  Shaquille Cockrell singled to left field followed by Charles RBI single to score Cockrell.  Colton Laird took one for the team and Burl stepped in once again and connected on a RBI single to score Charles.  Ashton Lewis got into the action singling to the right side of the field to score Burl.  Vives, who led the inning off with a groundout, recorded a single to score Peavey.  LaDerrick Williams
also hit a single to score Lewis and the Braves closed out the inning leading 14-7.

The Tigers scored three runs in the eighth inning and the Braves scored their final run in the bottom of the eighth inning on a RBI single by Collin Carroll.

Cedric Walker picked up his second win of the season (2-0).  Burl finished the game with five hits, five RBIs and scored four runs to leadd the Braves.

The Braves (2-4) wrap up the weekend at the MLB Urban Youth Invitational tomorrow against Southern at noon.
