Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Luis Torres? The Atlanta first baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the second inning to put the Generals on top, 1-0. For the game, Torres had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Torres told a Atlanta News reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
