Copperheads Earn 7-6 Win Versus Gothams
Atlanta third baseman John Newton was a significant contributor in his team's 7-6 triumph over the New York Gothams. He was 2-2 with a home run, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2 for the Copperheads. Atlanta pitcher John McCormick got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Jeff Pettigrew got the loss. Buddy Thomas was credited with the save for Atlanta, his 1st of the season.

Atlanta used the timely hitting of Jay Hunter to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Copperheads on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It wasn't a pretty victory," said Hunter, "but we got it done."

Atlanta goes to 1-1.
