Generals Pull Out Late Win, 6-5
The Atlanta Generals overcame a pretty good performance by Chicago first baseman Don Bozza, beating the Hawks, 6-5, at Atlantic Station Field. Bozza went 4-4 with a double, 3 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs. Today's win puts Atlanta at 65-65, while Chicago falls to 46-84.

Ron Bullins was the walk-off hero for Atlanta. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Generals catcher hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"The house was rockin'," said Bullins.
