Gothams Sneak Past Copperheads, 4-3
The New York Gothams had to overcome a fine effort from Atlanta pitcher Marco Middleton to win, 4-3, at Peachtree Stadium. Middleton went 7.2 innings and allowed 2 runs. Atlanta is 1-1 after the defeat.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Fred Davis? The 32-year old right fielder Davis stroked a 2-run double in the top of the ninth inning to put New York up, 4-3. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

Davis called the win a testament to his team's "grit."
