Atlanta Nets 6-5 Win Versus Empires
The Atlanta Generals beat the New York Empires by a score of 6-5. Atlanta second baseman Roberto Palacios deserved the lion's share of the credit. Palacios was 3-4 with 3 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Generals. Renie White snagged the win in relief. He goes to 7-6 on the season. Jack Pratt suffered the loss. Atlanta is now 82-72, New York 85-69.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With two out, Palacios hit a fastball from Jack Pratt for a run-scoring single. The Generals, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Palacios said.
