Gwinnett Braves Win Opener, Play 2 Saturday
The G-Braves defeat Charlotte on Friday in 2013 opener. A twin bill is scheduled for Saturday.
Delaying their 2013 opener by one day did not hurt the Gwinnett Braves' performance. The team cruised past Charlotte, 5-4, on Friday (April 5) at Coolray Field.
The scheduled season opener Thursday evening was postponed due to rain and chilly temps.
Shortstop Tyler Pastornicky, who has some experience with the Atlanta Braves, went 4-for-4 with an RBI. Pitcher Sean Gilmartin went five innings, allowing one run on six hits.
