Generals Take Down Habitants, 5-2
The Atlanta Generals faced a tough opponent in Montreal pitcher Oscar Rodela, but found a way to pull out the victory at LaSalle Stadium by a final score of 5-2 in 10 innings. Rodela went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. The 4th-place Generals have won 4 straight games.

Atlanta used a timely hit from Armando Lima to get the win. The catcher stroked a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Generals ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Atlanta manager Philipe Yazzie.
