Emeralds Roll Past Generals, 7-0
The Atlanta Generals had their hands full with Seattle Emeralds starter Deward Collins, who frustrated Atlanta hitters while leading Seattle to a comfortable, 7-0 win. Collins, the winner, moves to 1-0. He threw 6 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 1 and giving up 1 walk. The Emeralds, now 4-1, have stormed out of the gates.

The Generals had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Emeralds going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old center fielder Roberto Salazar came to the plate. Salazar hit a 2-run triple on a 0-1 sinker from Atlanta hurler Ray Norton. It was Salazar's 1st triple of the year.

Said losing manager Philipe Yazzie: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
