Ishikawa Vanquishes the Braves


Braves pitcher Carlyle decided to walk Lewis to get to Ishikawa with 2 out in the 7th. Strange decision considering the fact that Ishikawa had singles at every at-bat. And sure enough, almost instantly Ishikawa hit it out of there, scoring 3 runs. By then it was 8-2 Giants and no way the Braves could make it up. Chipper Jones wasn't in the line-up but he came to bat in the 9th but too late! Thankfully the Giants kept the tomahawk chopping Braves fans at bay. Outside the ballpark, Native American protesters handed out leaflets about the racist Braves mascot and tomahawk chops. Alongside were war veterans handing out small rubber duckies for a small donation towards supporting the soldiers.
