Related Topics: Atlanta Braves

Tate Southisene came up in the clutch in the losing effort for Single-A Augusta in his pro debut on Tuesday. The Atlanta Braves' 2025 first-round pick went 1-for-4 with a two-run single and a stolen base.

His two-run single gave the GreenJackets a 2-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth. The stolen base put him in scoring position, but the August bats couldn't capitalize.

Unfortunately, his efforts were spoiled when the Columbia Fireflies rallied to score two runs in the top of the ninth inning and take the game 3-2. Regardless, it's surely a day in his life he'll never forget.
