Atlanta Copperheads pitcher Jack Kotarski was in top form, leading his team past the Houston Comets, 8-1. Kotarski picked up the win for Atlanta, going 8.2 innings. He gave up 1 run on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 6-2. The Federal Association East-leading Copperheads are 29-19.

Atlanta used a big swing from John Moreland to get the win. The first baseman walloped a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Copperheads up, 2-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it changed the outcome.

"Jack really held it together well," said Atlanta manager Don Fox.
