RECAP
KISSIMMEE, Fla. (AP) _ Pinch-hitter Steve Torrealba had a run-scoring single in the 11th inning Friday night as the Atlanta Braves, who got a pair of home runs from Andruw Jones, rallied to beat the Montreal Expos 6-5. Torrealba, a non-roster catcher, hit his game-winner off Joey Eischen to left-center with one out following a walk and single by Wes Helms. Braves starter Greg Maddux went the first six innings. He allowed nine hits, four runs _ two earned _ didn't walk any and struck out four. Jones had a solo homer in the second and a two-run shot in the fourth off Montreal starter Javier Vasquez. Jones, who has eight hits in his last 10 at-bats, lifted his spring average to .359 with three homers. Montreal's Peter Bergeron continued his torrid hitting, going 2-for-3 with a two-run double off Maddux. Bergeron, who singled and scored in a two-run first inning, drove in a pair of unearned runs off Maddux in the fourth with his double to left after a pair of Atlanta errors. Bergeron is 12-for-24 in his last eight games and raised his spring average to .291 (16-for-55) after a 4-for-31 start. Fernando Tatis, Mark Smith and Matt Cepicky also had RBI hits for the Expos. The Braves trailed 5-3 in the ninth with two outs and nobody on before getting four straight hits to tie it off Scott Strickland. Chan Perry singled, took second on a wild pitch and scored on a single by Helms. Dax Norris singled Helms to second and Pedro Swann's RBI single to right tied it.
