MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Marlins lost to the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Sunday.
The Braves’ win was so difficult to describe that Brian Snitker needed two hyphens for one word.
“Stick-to-itiveness,” the Braves manager said.
Yep, it’s in the dictionary, and next to it should be the box score from Atlanta’s wild 12-inning comeback victory Sunday.
Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a three-run homer in the ninth inning and Matt Joyce delivered a tiebreaking RBI single in the 12th to help rally past Miami.
The Braves overcame a 5-1 deficit in the ninth against closer Sergio Romo.
