"The bullpen refused to warm up" said Braves head coach Laurence Mack, "After the fourth [inning] I would go out there every inning but no one wanted to warm up, they new Lance had something special going" he added.
Baxter struck out six, walked only one, and preserved his no hitter when Rhett Stafford's eighth inning infield single was overturned and ruled an error on Braves second basemen Josh Wenderoth.
The start was Baxter's first of the season, who was scheduled to start three nights ago against Faquier and two nights ago against Harrisonburg but rain delays postponed both of the games.
Braves first basemen Blake McDade doubled in the fourth and scored Generals shortstops Jacke Healey's error.
Centerfielder Max Most hit a routine ground ball in the fifth but an overthrow by Generals second basemen Aaron Bonomi allowed Most to reach second, after Most stole third he scored off right fielder Matt Hamlet's sacrifice fly.
That would be all the Braves would need as Baxter finished the final four innings with one walk and three of his six strikeouts.
The Braves travel to Haymarket tonight to take on the 1-3 Senators.
