Raucous Peachtree Stadium Crowd Propels Copperheads to 6-4 Victory; Series Tied at 1
The Atlanta Copperheads defeated the Los Angeles Suns, 6-4, in Game 2 of the Association Championship Series. Making an impact was right fielder Jack Blair, who was 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, a walk, and was hit by a pitch. The win moves Atlanta into a 1-1 tie with Los Angeles in the series.

Atlanta took a 4-3 lead in the bottom of the seventh inning, when Howard Smith hit a clutch 2-run home run to bring Copperheads fans to their feet.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Blair.

Game 3 is scheduled for Saturday at Wilshire Park in Los Angeles.
