Atlanta opened the scoring in the bottom of the first with lead-off, back to back doubles by Glenn Hubbard and Claudell Washington for the early 1-0 lead.
The Reds managed to tie the game in the top of the fourth. Wayne Krenchicki hit a solo homer off Rick Mahler. Mahler sure settled down after that, though! He retired the next 14 hitters in a row. I also had him batting sixth in the lineup since he hit in the .290's in the real 1984. He went 2-4 with a double!
The Braves went back out in front in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI double by Jerry Royster, who is subbing at shortstop for the injure Rafael Ramirez. But the sixth inning was the major turning point for Atlanta. They plated three more runs, including a rare solo homer from Bruce Bennedict. Mahler went the distance for a complete game win.
