hear something?

Quite a dramatic win for the Mississippi Braves on Thursday night. And quite a celebration after Antoan Richardson scored the winning run on a wild pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning. They’ve scored more runs in the ninth — 54 — than in any other, and they’ve won nine times in their last at-bat. Breakdowns in various aspects of the game at various bad times have hurt them. But they’re 1-2 now in the second half of the Southern League season, and manager Phillip Wellman, who isn’t given to hyperbole, believes this bunch is capable of putting it all together for a run at a division title. “I know we were 30-38 (in the first half) and then 30-40, and that’s not good,” he said after Thursday’s game. “But what amazes me still is that these guys do not quit. I’m proud of the way they go about their business every day. … They show up early and they work hard. I just hope in time they start to reap the rewards of the hard work. I keep saying this, ‘There’s something about this team that I like.’ I mean that. And I keep telling them, ‘We’re one click away.’ We’re just waiting for that click.” Maybe that was it on Thursday night at Trustmark Park.
