wild, wild life

File it under Crazy. The Mississippi Braves rallied from a 10-0 deficit with a 10-run inning, squandered two late leads and then won in walk-off fashion in the 10th inning Thursday night against Jacksonville at Trustmark Park. The final was 15-14 in a game that featured 33 hits and five errors, four by the visiting Suns. Steve Rodriguez, hitting .184 entering the game, knocked in the winner with his third hit. David Rohm, who had reached on an error to start the M-Braves 10th, scored the decisive run. Jacksonville KO’d M-Braves starter Andrew Barbosa – who threw seven shutout innings in his debut last week – in a six-run second inning en route to building a 10-0 lead heading to the bottom of the third. The offensively challenged M-Braves promptly erupted for 10 runs. The M-Braves took leads of 13-10 and 14-13 but couldn’t hold them. Rodriguez then came through in the 10th to end a 4-hour, 6-minute affair that can’t be classified as anything but crazy. Eric Garcia, filling in at shortstop for hot-hitting Emerson Landoni, had four hits, three RBIs and three runs for the M-Braves, now 11-9 in the second half of the Southern League season.
