Exactly two years later he pitched an inning of relief for the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field in Atlanta.
Ligtenberg relieved Braves closer Mark Wohler in the ninth inning Tuesday after Wohlers blew a 2-1 lead against the Pittsburgh Pirates. With the Pirates leading 3-2, the 6-2, 205-pounder from Rapid City, S.D., got an out, walked a batter and gave up a two-run single just over shortstop. He then got the last out on a popup to Fred McGriff at first base. One year after pitching for former Braves catcher Greg Olson, who was Minneapolis Loons manager in 1995, Ligtenberg wound up in the Braves farm system at Class A Durham. Last year, he was 7-4 wih 20 saves and a 2.41 earned run average.
Ligtenberg was the sixth Braves pitcher used in the game. Scooter Pursley AMERICAN LEAGUE Tuesday's Games Milwaukee 5, Seattle 3 Texas 12, Boston 2 Detroit at Cleveland, (n) Kansas City 6, N.Y.

Before the game, the Rangers acquired right-handed North Dakotan Rick Helling from Florida for lefty Ed Vosberg. BREWERS 5, MARINERS 3: Rookie Steve Woodard avenged a recent pounding by Seattle.
Woodard (2-1) allowed only four hits in seven innings. He struck out six, walked one and gave up solo homers to Griffey and Russ Davis, his 17th. On Aug. 2, Woodard was tagged for six runs in two innings by the Mariners in a 14-4 loss. Reliever Bob Wickman preserved a 4-3 lead in the eighth, escaping a bases-loaded, one-out jam.
He got Edgar Martinez to ground into a forceout at the plate and struck out Jay Buhner on a 3-2 pitch. Doug Jones got three outs for his 24th save. WHITE SOX 8, ANGELS 5: Albert Belle homered twice to end one of the longest power droughts of his career. Belle's two-run shot, his 23rd of the season, capped a three-run seventh inning. Ray Durham and Dave Martinez singled to finish Jason Dickson (11-5), who lost for the first time since June 26.
Frank Thomas greeted reliever Shigetoshi Hasegawa with a go-ahead sacrifice fly that made it 5-4 and then Belle followed with his second homer to left center. Belle hit a solo shot in the second, his first homer since July 18, ending a 21-game homerless streak. Neagle a chance to become the NL's first 17-game winner and denied Wohlers the 100th save of his career. Wohlers (4-5) took the loss instead, and he had only himself to blame. With one out in the ninth and the Braves holding a 2-1 lead, Jason Kendall singled and stole second before Wohlers walked the next two hitters, Dale Sveum and Mark Smith.
Ward, who entered the game in the seventh during a double switch, followed with a blistering line drive to center that sent Wohlers diving to the ground while the tying and go-ahead runs came home. The Braves had won 61 consecutive games this season when leading after the eighth. Al Martin padded the Pirates' lead with a two-out, two-run single against Kerry Ligtenberg, making his major league debut. PHILLIES 5, ROCKIES 0: Matt Beech ended his string of 22 straight starts without a victory. Beech (1-7) had not won since beating Atlanta in his first major league start on Aug.
8, 1996. He was winless in his first 15 starts this season. Beech retired the first 13 batters, and allowed just four hits in seven innings. He walked none and struck out six. The Phillies have won three in a row and 11 of 14.
Colorado has lost three straight. Rico Brogna had three hits and drove in two runs, and Mickey Morandini had two hits and drove in a run.
