Copperheads Get 8-3 Win Versus Los Angeles
Atlanta center fielder Gus Richards was a significant contributor in his team's 8-3 triumph over the Los Angeles Suns. He went 4-6 with a home run and 3 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Copperheads. The Copperheads lead the Federal Association East by 7 games.

Marco Middleton threw 9.0 innings of 6-hit ball for Atlanta. The seven-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 3-3 tie with a run-scoring walk off Bob Hinzman. It was his 4th walk of the season.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Middleton.
