Palacios Blasts Wolverines, Generals Take Game 3, 8-5
The Atlanta Generals have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Detroit Wolverines, winning, 8-5, at Atlantic Station Field. Generals second baseman Roberto Palacios was 2-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. The win cuts the deficit facing the Generals to 2-1 in the best-of-7 Divisional Round.

A key moment came with two out in the bottom of the second. That's when Palacios hit a splitter from Scott Litwak for a 3-run home run, putting Atlanta up, 6-1.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Atlanta skipper Philipe Yazzie.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Atlantic Station Field in Atlanta.
