Atlanta Generals (5-4) 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5 1
Baltimore Lords (7-3) 1 3 0 0 1 3 0 2 X 10 15 1
Veirs Crafts 10-0 Shutout
It wasn't easy but the Baltimore Lords made it look that way.

Starter Pete Veirs shut out the Atlanta Generals despite having what he later called "sub-par" stuff, and the Baltimore Lords cruised to victory, 10-0. Veirs allowed only 5 hits and rang up 5 strikeouts but insisted later that he did not deserve primary credit for the win.

"It didn't feel quite right today, but I got a lot of help to get through," he said. "I trusted my catcher and the guys behind me bailed me out more than once when I screwed up."
