Atlanta first baseman Earl Skains played a vital role in his team's 9-6 conquest of Washington. He was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for Atlanta. Buddy Thomas sewed up the save, his 7th. The victory makes Atlanta 15-10, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 1975.

Jay Hunter had a key at-bat with one out in the bottom of the fifth for Atlanta. With the bases loaded and the Copperheads leading 4-3, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run.

"I still think this team can play even better," Skains told the Atlanta Times.
