Atlanta and Detroit slugged it out for in 12 innings. George Palmer, in particular, was outstanding. The Atlanta left-hander helped his team knock off the Wolverines, 2-1. The first-place Generals have a one-game lead in their division.

The Generals got a clutch hit from center fielder Danny Bleicher. In the bottom of the 12th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Generals.

"We found a way to get it done," Bleicher said.
