Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Braves
Led by Brett Butler, the Atlanta Braves defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-3. Butler went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Braves. The win gives Atlanta a season record of 49-45.

Atlanta used a timely hit from Craig Kusick to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Braves ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"Enjoyed this one," Butler told the Atlanta Citizen. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
