The Atlanta Generals defeated the New York Empires, 7-5, at Queens Field. Atlanta was led by 27-year old center fielder Danny Bleicher, who went 2-2 with 2 singles and 2 walks. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The Atlanta winning streak has reached 3 games.

Luis Torres drove in one run for Atlanta. The 27-year old first baseman had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Andy Humphrey. It was his 18th RBI of the season.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Torres.
