Danville Blows Out Pulaski

Danville Braves C Phillip Britton hit 2 home runs -- one a grand slam -- and drove in 6 runs as the Braves beat the Pulaski Blue Jays 14-1 in the biggest blowout of the day Sunday.

The two Appalachian League teams had nearly identical number of hits: 12 for Danville, 11 for Pulaski. The Blue Jays, however, stranded 12 base runners.

The winning run scored as part of Britton's 3rd inning grand slam. Danville 2B Brandon Monk led off with a walk, LF Concepcion Rodriguez doubled, and the bases were loaded when SS Jose Santos was hit by a pitch. After Pulaski's Kyle Ginley came in to replace Kyle Walter, Britton hits his grand slam, making it 5-0.

The Braves made it 14-0 before the Blue Jays managed their lone run in the bottom of the 8th.
