at Jupiter, Fla.
Sunday, March 19

Braves at the plate: Andruw Jones doubled and scored a run. Todd Pratt singled and scored, while Tony Pena rapped an RBI double.

Cardinals at the plate: David Eckstein reached base three times, with a single, a walk and a hit-by-pitch, and he scored twice. Scott Rolen drove in three runs on a single and a groundout, and he also walked. Skip Schumaker knocked an RBI double and singled and scored, and Chris Duncan drove in two runs with a double.

Braves on the mound: Tim Hudson wasn't sharp in his five-inning start. In addition to allowing four runs on four hits, Hudson walked four batters, hit one and unleashed a wild pitch. Lance Cormier endured a rare tough game, giving up four runs in two innings.

Cardinals on the mound: Sidney Ponson got through five effective innings with two runs allowed, one earned, on four hits. Josh Hancock pitched a perfect inning with two strikeouts, and Ricardo Rincon didn't allow a baserunner in his first Grapefruit League appearance.

Grapefruit League records: Braves 6-13; Cardinals 10-7-1.

Up next: The same two teams go at it again on Monday at 1:05 p.m. ET at Roger Dean Stadium. John Smoltz pitches for Atlanta, going up against St. Louis' Anthony Reyes. The game will be on ESPN.
