Generals Win at New York, 5-0
Frank Noorani, who led the ABL in saves with 28 in 1972, never let the Empires get in a groove. The left-hander used his bread and butter, his cutter, to pitch the Generals to a win, 5-0. The defeat makes New York 59-55.

Atlanta shortstop Kyle Devine helped the Generals go up, 1-0, in the top of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Devine hit a run-scoring single off New York pitcher Jack Neenan.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Noorani.
