Rome, GA - It took 13 innings but the Rome Braves topped the Augusta GreenJackets 3-2 Monday night before a crowd 1,783 thanks to Yeudi Grullon's RBI single in the bottom of the 13th.

Augusta got on the board in the fifth on a sacrifice fly by Manuel Geraldo but Rome tied the game in the bottom of the inning on Bradley Keller's RBI double. The GreenJackets took the lead in the sixth on an RBI groundout by Dylan Davis but the Braves were quick to tie the game 2-2 in the seventh on Justin Ellison's single to score a run.
