ATLANTA - Parkview and Lassiter players are used to big games, but nothing prepared them for stepping onto sun-dappled Turner Field Tuesday. <br> <br> As he emerged from the Braves&#39; dugout and gazed at the stadium, Lassiter&#39;s Luis Cribeiro said, ``It&#39;s unreal, like a dream come true.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> The senior&#39;s day only got better. In the top of the seventh inning, Cribeiro crushed a fastball five rows deep into the left-field seats, giving Lassiter a 6-5 win. <br> <br> Cribeiro says he was so excited while rounding the bases thathe could hardly think straight. <br> <br> He said, ``That&#39;s the most amazing thing I&#39;ve ever had happen in my life, to hit a bomb here.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> It was the first high school game ever played at Turner Field. Lassiter (22-4) got an ounce of revenge for last year&#39;s loss to Parkview (24-2) in the state Class AAAAA championship series. Both teams are expected to go deep in this year&#39;s state playoffs, which start Friday. <br> <br> Georgia played Georgia Tech in the nightcap of Tuesday&#39;s doubleheader benefitting Children&#39;s Healthcare of Atlanta.
