Copperheads Blast Minutemen
The Atlanta Copperheads buried the Boston Minutemen, 12-1, under a barrage of hits. John Moreland led the onslaught, going 2-for-3 for Atlanta. The winning pitcher was 1973 Allen Award winner Howie Burt. He tossed 107 pitches over 8.1 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits. Boston is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 7 in a row.

With Atlanta leading 3-1 in the top of the sixth, Moreland hit a 2-run single off Boston hurler Richie Thornton. It was the 39th hit of the season for Moreland and put his team ahead, 5-1.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said Boston manager Dode Edwards.
