Copperheads Drop Dynamos, 4-3, with Late Score
Detroit wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Johnny Hoskinson, falling to the Atlanta Copperheads, 4-3. Hoskinson threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball for the losing team. Jack Kotarski got credit for the win, improving to 11-6. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits in 7 innings. The first-place Copperheads, at 56-34, lead the Federal Association East by 6½ games.

Atlanta used a timely hit from Al Hubbard to get the win. The second baseman stroked a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Copperheads ahead, 4-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"I play this game for myself and my family, but of course it's always nice when we can win," said Hubbard.
