Copperheads Drop Clippers, 8-7
Fans watched the Atlanta Copperheads and the Baltimore Clippers fight to the finish.

Behind the hitting of Gus Richards, the Atlanta Copperheads stopped the Baltimore Clippers, 8-7, in 10 innings. Richards was 2 for 4 with a triple and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Copperheads. The win belonged to Sonny Stoyer in relief. His record improves to 2-0. Bobby Carr took the loss for Baltimore.

The game was at a stalemate until catcher Howard Smith came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Baltimore pitcher Bobby Carr, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Atlanta on top, 7-6.

"It was a test of wills," said Don Fox, the Atlanta skipper. "I'm glad we came out of it with a win."

Atlanta now has a record of 82-28 with the win.
