Harrison Delivers Walk-Off Win for Generals
In a low-scoring contest between the Atlanta Generals and the New York Empires, 26-year old right-handed pitcher Ray Seals proved to be the difference. The Atlanta right-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Generals win. The winner was Jorge Corona in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jack Pratt took the loss. The Generals bumped their record to 71-61 with this win.

The Generals got a clutch hit from center fielder Joe Harrison. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Generals.

"Honestly, I'm not frustrated," said New York manager Jose Placeholder. "The effort was great."
