Copperheads Earn Late Win
Atlanta catcher Howard Smith had 4 ribbies while helping his team defeat the St. Louis Pioneers, 7-6. Atlanta reliever Ike Abraham picked up the win, upping his record to 6-1. Curly Anderson was saddled with the loss. The first-place Copperheads now have a win-loss record of 77-47.

The clutch at-bat in the bottom of the ninth belonged to Smith. Facing Curly Anderson with the bases loaded, the Atlanta catcher had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. Game over, walk-off style!

Smith said afterward that "winning is the goal."
