After dealing with Julio Teheran’s impressive effort at Turner Field on Tuesday night, the Brewers claimed a 2-1 win that came courtesy of a two-out, eighth-inning single that Scooter Gennett recorded off Braves setup man Bud Norris. Norris erased the first of his two eighth-inning walks with a pickoff, but he paid for the one he issued to Jonathan Villar, who stole second base and scored on Gennett’s single when right fielder Nick Markakis’ throw sailed wide of the plate. The Brewers snapped a three-game losing streak, and the Braves fell to 2-18 at home this season. Teheran notched...

Finishing with personal bests in the final 2 events was not enough on Monday as Sarah Pearson opened up the TSSAA Spring Fling for Coffee County finishing in 11th place in the pentathlon. Pearson, who stepped on her right hand after landing in the high jump pit on her first jump, braved a nasty spike wound and a very competitive field to finish more than 200 points above last year’s 8th place finish. Pearson started a little slow as she finished in 10th place in the 100M hurdles with a time 16.8 seconds which was almost ¼ of a...

Jerad Eickhoff reverted back to the game plan that got him in trouble his last start in Atlanta, but he faced no such problems Sunday afternoon at Citizens Bank Park. Sticking to his fastball-curve combo, Eickhoff went seven shutout innings in a Phillies’ 5-0 win to avoid a series sweep for the first time since Philadelphia lost four straight to open the season. Though the Braves claimed their second series win of the season, this shutout loss denied their bid to split a 10-game trip that also included stops in Kansas City and Pittsburgh. Where Eickhoff was efficient, Braves...
