Moreland Leads Copperheads to Win
In the 8-3 Atlanta win over Baltimore, the impact of John Moreland was substantial. Moreland, who finished 4th in the FA in hits with 179 in 1965, went 3 for 3 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. The winning pitcher was Jack Kotarski. He tossed 108 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. Today's win puts Atlanta at 50-30, while Baltimore falls to 42-37.

A key moment came with one out in the top of the second. That's when Moreland hit a curveball from Joe McDowell for a 2-run single, putting Atlanta up, 2-0.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Moreland said after the game.
