Generals Win Thriller, 5-4
The outcome was not decided until the very end at Atlantic Station Field.

The Atlanta Generals picked up a win at Atlantic Station Field, knocking off the Twin Cities Northmen, 5-4, in 10 innings. Starting pitcher Ron Cwiklinski played a key role in the triumph. Paul Hodges snagged the win in relief. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits over 2 innings. He's now 3-1 on the season.

The decisive blow was delivered by Richie Lord in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a 2-run double off 30-year old left-handed pitcher Jeff Jordan to win the game for Atlanta. The home crowd went nuts.

"This wasn't a good win," said Cwiklinski. "It was a great win."

The 4th-place Generals have won 4 straight games.
