Braves begin new streak with victory over Vikes The Braves came to Taft ready on Wednesday night. Scotty Guess took the hill. It was a pitcher's night, with the wind blowing in at about 8-10 mph. Guess had everything working and went the distance. He allowed 4 runs on 6 hits while walking 3 and striking out 7. Guess also helped his cause with an RBI single in the 4th. Sean Carney led the Braves attack on offense. Carney was 2 for 4 and had 4 stolen bases. Jim O'Brien and Kris Couch also had good games, with both going 2 for 3. O'Brien had a big double in the 7th and both he and Couch each drove in a run. Billy Guess also made his presence felt with a 3 walk evening. Next game is Saturday at Winnemac against the Yankees. All the games at this time of year are big, and this one is no exception. Game time is at 12:30.
