Generals Earn 6-3 Home Win
Starting pitcher Ron Cwiklinski pitched well enough to help the Atlanta Generals beat the Twin Cities Northmen, 6-3. Frank Noorani notched his 13th save of the season. The second-place Generals have won 4 straight.

Ed Mika had a big 2-run home run for the Generals in the bottom of the third inning. With Atlanta leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a sinker from Charlie Sokol, who won the Rookie of the Year Award in 1962, and punished it. The result was his 10th home run of the season, which put the Generals on top, 3-0.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Atlanta manager Philipe Yazzie.
