Generals Earn 5-3 Home Win
|
The Atlanta Generals racked up a win at Atlantic Station Field, bumping off the Houston Drillers, 5-3. Frank Combs, who started for Atlanta, pitched effectively for his team. Combs picked up the win for Atlanta, going 8 innings. He gave up 1 run on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 17-7. The save went to Frank Noorani, his 27th this season.
John Raymond chipped in a 2-run home run for Atlanta in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.
"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Combs told the Atlanta News. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
The win gives Atlanta a season record of 81-71.
