Copperheads Improve to 18-10 with 4-2 Win
Atlanta Copperheads starter Marco Middleton pitched a strong game against the Minneapolis Millers at Hennepin County Stadium, leading the Copperheads to victory, 4-2. The victory makes Atlanta 18-10.

Atlanta used the clutch hitting of Jay Hunter to capture the win. The center fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to give the Copperheads the lead, 3-2. For the game, Hunter had 1 single and 2 doubles in 4 at-bats.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Minneapolis skipper Harry Hammond, "and it cost us."
