Extra-Inning Win by Generals Over Wolverines
Well, that's how to end a game in style.

Detroit got a decent performance from pitcher William Matz, but it wasn't enough to beat the Atlanta Generals. Atlanta won the Atlantic Station Field contest, 4-3. Matz threw 8.2 innings of 7-hit ball for the losing team. Atlanta has run its win streak to 4 straight.

The decisive blow was delivered by Steve Walp in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Elmer Bernstein to win the game for Atlanta. The home crowd went nuts.

"We battled our tails off to get this win," said Atlanta manager Philipe Yazzie.
