G-Braves Rally, Fall in Ninth: The G-Braves scored three runs in the top of the ninth to erase a 2-0 deficit, but allowed two runs in the bottom half to lose 4-3 to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs last night at Coca-Cola Park. The Current Road Trip (2-2) IronPigs built a 2-0 lead on a sixth-inning solo home run by Maikel Franco off LHP Manny Banuelos and an eighth-inning RBI double by Russ Canzler off RHP John Cornely. In the ninth, Gwinnett ended the shutout as Todd Cunningham (1-for- 4, 2B, R) doubled and scored on a single by Cedric Hunter (2- DATE 5/5 at SWB 5/6 at SWB 5/7 at SWB 5/8 at LHV RESULT W, 3-1 L, 3-5 W, 5-0 L, 3-4 for-4, 2B, R, RBI).
