Cat scurries along beam in upper deck before Braves-Phillies

ATLANTA (AP) — A small cat scurried through the rafters at Truist Park before the Atlanta Braves tried to clinch their fourth straight NL East title against the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday night.

The gray-and-white cat was discovered darting along a beam in the upper deck more than hour before the first pitch, setting off a frantic attempt by stadium workers to corral the feline before most fans arrived at the ballpark.

A handful of early arrivers watched the effort, which involved at least a half-dozen workers, a couple of ladders, a big net and a thickly padded glove.
