RICHMOND, VA--Keith Luuloa went 3-for-4 with an RBI to help lead the visiting Indianapolis Indians to a 4-2 victory over the Richmond Braves Sunday at The Diamond.

Luuloa, who entered the game with four hits for the season, collected a pair of singles and drove in a run on a fourth inning double. Pete Zoccolillo chipped in two hits and scored twice while Wilton Veras, Pasqual Coco, and Scott Seabol each recorded RBI. Coco's fourth inning bloop single scoring Luuloa proved to be the game winner as it put Indianapolis ahead 3-0.

Ryan Glynn (1-3) took the loss for Richmond, allowing three runs on six hits and a pair of walks.

Coco (2-4) earned the victory, pitching 6.1 innings of seven-hit baseball. Richmond pushed across two runs in the seventh on a Jesse Garcia single and a Nick Green sacrifice fly. The Braves rally ended that inning as Shane Nance recorded back-to-back strikeouts of Damon Hollins and Donzell McDonald. Roberto Giron worked the ninth to get his fourth save.

The Braves travel to Rhode Island Monday to begin a four-game series with Pawtucket. Monday's series opener against the Red Sox can be heard on WXGI AM 950 at 5:50 p.m. with the first pitch slated for 6:05 p.m.
