Copperheads, Newton Blast Gothams, 10-2
The Atlanta Copperheads grabbed a win, 10-2, over the New York Gothams at Peachtree Stadium. Atlanta shortstop John Newton went 4-4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. The Copperheads saw their record improve to 47-26.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the bottom of the fifth. That's when Copperheads second baseman Al Hubbard hit a fastball from Curtis Robinson for a 2-run single. Just like that, Atlanta was up, 3-2.

"Not much went right for us," New York manager Charlie Foley said, when asked afterward about the game.
