Braves’ leadoff batter Andres Esparza, right, is all smiles as he is congratulated by team mate P.J. Stanley after hitting a home run during their Beaufort County Parks and Recreation Adult Baseball League game against the Red Snappers on Monday at Burton Wells Athletic Complex. Esparza had metioned earlier to the team that he did not like to lead off but went on to swing at the first pitch of the top of the first inning, hitting the ball over the left center field fence for home run. The game, however, was suspended because of rain and lightning in the area. Bob Sofaly/The Island News
