GREENEVILLE, TN - The Danville Braves (15-20) scored four unanswered runs over the final two innings at Pioneer Park in their 7-5 win over the Greeneville Reds (15-19) Wednesday night. Raul Juarez reached base in all four of his plate ap- pearances and RHP Tanner Cooper struck out six over four scoreless relief innings.

Cody Milligan drew a leadoff walk in the first, and went first-to-third as Beau Philip reached on Tyler Callihan's two-base throwing error at second. Both runners scored on Bryce Ball's two-run single. In the second, Brandon Chapman tripled with one out, and scored on Michael Mateja's sacrifice fly.

A.J. Bumpass and Garrett Wolforth opened the fourth with back-to-back singles. Both advanced on Callihan's ground out. Bumpass scored Greeneville's first run on Luke Berryhill's sacrifice fly.

After LHP Filyer Sanchez recorded the first out in the fifth, he walked Juarez, then hit Allan Cerda with two outs. Juarez scored from second on Bumpass' RBI-single. Cerda went first-to-third on the single, and scored on Sanchez's wild pitch. Bumpass moved to second on the play, and scored on Wolforth's RBI-single to put the Reds up 4-3.

Greeneville loaded the bases with no outs in the seventh. After Bumpass struck out, Wolforth hit a single to left field, scoring Juarez. Ivan Johnson tried to score as well, but it was ruled that he did not touch home plate.

Danville tied the game at five in the eighth. After LHP Alec Byrd retired the first two, Ball singled to extend the inning. Connor Blair followed with a single to right, Ball went to third and so did Lantigua's throw, allowing Blair to take second. Both scored on Willie Carter's two-run single.

RHP Anthony Zimmerman (L, 0-2) hit a batter and walked one with one out in the ninth, then threw a wild pitch, allowing both runners to advance. After striking out Brandon Parker, Zimmerman surrendered a go-ahead two-run single to Philip.

Juarez opened up the bottom half with a single, but RHP Alex Camacho (W, 2-0) struck out two and got Bumpass to fly out to end the game.
