S. Johnsonbaugh for WB settled down after a 3-run 1st inning to throw a good game for the Bruins. The kid is just a freshman... this WB team is definitely one that will rise quickly with how much young talent they have...
ALSO ... wanted to mention... IR's CF Sean Wolfe (who will sign with Albemarle this weekend) broke his hand during Monday's game vs Lakeland and is out for the remainder of the season. It's a huge loss for the Braves... and a tough break for a genuinely fantastic kid.
