The turning point:
Trailing 2-0 heading into the fourth, the Braves plated three runs to take a 3-2 lead. Rome then added some insurance runs by scoring three in the seventh, and one run in both the eighth and ninth.
Who did what for Rome: William Beckwith went 2-for-5 with two doubles and three RBIs, Robby Heffliger hit his fifth home run of the season, and Will Skinner drove in three runs.
On the mound: Greg Ross got the win after allowing just two runs over eight innings. Ross struck out six while only walking two. David Peterson closed out the game, and had two strikeouts in his one inning of work.
Game notes: With the win, Rome (17-14) is now tied with Charleston for first place in the South.
Next Game: The Braves are back in Charleston tonight for game two of their four-game series with first pitch set for 7:05 p.m.
