Seagulls Edge Generals, 6-5
Atlanta first baseman Chris Berman had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Berman was 4 for 5 with 4 singles, even as San Francisco beat the Generals, 6-5. Dennis Fulton, the winning pitcher, improved to 2-0. He pitched 6 innings, giving up 8 hits and 3 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 0. The victory makes San Francisco 14-9, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 1973.

San Francisco used a clutch at-bat from Bobby Tapia to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Seagulls ahead, 3-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

After the game, San Francisco manager Al Borie applauded the team's effort. "We put some good AB's together," he said.
