The young Atlanta Braves went 2-2 on Tuesday, with Augusta and Mississippi winning their respective ballgames. JJ Niekro extended his dominant streak, Vaughn Grissom had a pair of hits, and the Rome bats continue to rake, even in a losing effort.

Here’s how it went down on the Atlanta Braves farm Tuesday night.

Gwinnett Stripers (33-4) 1, Nashville Sound (40-26) 4

  • Travis Demeritte, LF: 0-for-2, 2 BB, 1 K
  • Alex Dickerson, RF: 2-for-4, 2 2B, 1 RBI
  • Bryce Elder, SP: 7 IP, 7 H, 4 R (3 ER), 1 BB, 8 K

It was a workhorse start from Bryce Elder that we’ve come to know.
