Generals Thrill Fans with 2-1 Win
Pitching was the name of the game in a tight contest between the Atlanta Generals and the Houston Drillers. Atlanta won it, 2-1. Atlanta starter Alfredo Morales was in command. Atlanta raised its record to 80-70 with the win.

The decisive blow was delivered by Kyle Devine in the bottom of the 13th when he hit a solo home run off 30-year old right-handed pitcher Warner Manning to win the game for Atlanta. The home crowd went nuts.

"I'm just out there trying to have as much fun as I can while I'm playing," Morales told the Atlanta News.
