Northmen Score Late, Topple Generals, 4-2
Dave Church, who finished 2nd in the NBL in wins with 20 in 1962, had a strong outing for the Twin Cities Northmen against the Atlanta Generals at Atlantic Station Field. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-2 win. Tommy Lloyd picked up his 2nd save of the season. The Generals fall to 5-8 and continue to sputter in the early going.

Twin Cities took advantage of an error in the top of the ninth inning. The game was tied, 2-2, when Carl Jacobs hit a 2-run single that was misplayed. It put the Northmen in front, 4-2.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Church said.
