The Braves and Black Sox will meet one more time this season with a spot in the 33+ Championship Series on the line after splitting the first two games of their best of three series. 

Game one went in favor of the Braves who lead most of the way behind a strong outing from starter Jack Myers, until they found themselves trailing by a run following a two out, two run double by Jesse Collins in the top of the seventh inning. The Braves, however, refused to let the game slip away and rallied for two runs of their own in the home half of the seventh to walk-off a 5-4 winner.

In game two, the Braves again took an early lead behind another solid pitching performance from Cody Kinard until the Black Sox rallied with in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game at 3-3. In extra innings, the Braves scored once in the top of the eighth to take a 4-3 lead before Jesse Collins struck again, this time belting a three run walk-off home run, lifting the Black Sox to a 6-4 win. 

The winner take all game three of this series is scheduled for Sunday, September 20th at 1:00pm @ Chain Field.
