Braves second number one pick (40th overall) Joey Wentz started the GCL Braves 14-0 no hitter over the Yankees West GCL squad at Disney on Saturday. Wentz struck out six Yankee hitters in three innings. Wentz and three other Braves hurlers did allow two Yankee base runners via hit batter but one was erased by a double play. The big power for the Braves came in the seventh when Alex Aquine smacked a 0-1 offering over the left field fence for a grand slam homer.
