Gothams Saddle Copperheads with 7-2 Loss
Though he had a great game, Jack Abasi could not single-handedly produce a win for Atlanta. New York won the game, 7-2. Abasi went 3-3 with a home run, 2 singles, and was hit by a pitch. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Joe Nelson, who went 7.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 1 run on 8 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 4. His record now stands at 6-3. The Gothams saw their record improve to 34-36.

It could have been a different outcome for New York, had it not been for Joe Jones, the 1971 Kellogg Award winner . Jones contributed a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put New York up, 4-0.

Jones attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."
