debut alert(s)

Within moments tonight, former Itawamba Community College star Desmond Jennings and ex-Mississippi Braves standout Freddie Freeman made their first major league plate appearances. Jennings, hitting second for Tampa Bay, grounded out to third. Freeman, batting sixth for Atlanta, smashed a ground ball up the middle, but New York had a shift on for the lefty swinger and the result was a routine 6-3. Freeman became the 47th M-Braves alumnus to reach The Show.
