June 2:In a game featuring Braves 4 ejections, including Manager Phillip Wellman,
the Braves dropped the series finale to the Lookouts 7-6 in front of 4,240
fans at AT&T Field. With the loss the Braves (34-21) had their lead in the
South Division trimmed to 4 games over the BayBears. They were unable to
reduce their magic number as it stayed at 12 to clinch the first half with
15 games remaining. The Lookouts (24-31) remain 6.0 games back in the
North Division race.

The chaos started in the 3rd inning as Wellman was ejected for the second
time this season, but he didn't leave quietly. The former Lookouts Manager
walked off the field to a standing ovation a few times. He first covered
home plate completely with dirt. Then he removed third base and tossed it.
He then crawled (like a soldier) from behind the pitcher's mound, grabbed
the rosin bag and chucked it at home plate like a grenade. He then grabbed
the already removed third base bag and removed the the second base bag and
dropped them in right field on his way off the field.

Kelvin Villa (3-3, 4.75 ERA), was touched for three runs in the first 4
innings. In the 5th play was stopped as Brent Rice thought he found a
foreign substance on the ball. After meeting with his crew he ejected
Villa. Joey Devine and Mike Rozema were also tossed trying to vouch for
their pitcher. The Braves still recovered from all of that to take a 5-4
lead into the bottom of the 8th inning, only to watch Zach Schreiber
struggle. Schreiber walked three batters and gave up a bases-loaded walk
to tie the game and a two-run single by Drew Anderson to give the Lookouts
the lead...all with two outs on the board.

The Braves rallied in the 9th again as an ailing Diory Hernandez dropped
in a double to score Carl Loadenthal who walked to lead off the inning.
Mark Jurich struck out to end the game with the tying run at second base
as Carlos Guevara notched his 3rd save of the series and his 6th of the
season.
