Suns Absorb 7-5 Home Loss
Getting offensive support from John Moreland, the Atlanta Copperheads topped the Los Angeles Suns, 7-5. Moreland went 4-4 with a double and 3 singles for the Copperheads. Atlanta starter Jack Kotarski was credited with the win after throwing 101 pitches over 7 innings. His record now stands at 4-4. Buddy Thomas was credited with the save for Atlanta, his 12th of the season.

Atlanta used a well-timed hit by Jim Duchesne to capture the win. The third baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Copperheads ahead, 3-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Duchesne.

Atlanta has an impressive 40-19 record.
