Baltimore Wins, 8-7, Over Copperheads
The Baltimore Clippers weathered an outstanding game by Atlanta right fielder Earl Skains to topple the Copperheads, 8-7. Skains belted 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Jimmy Pepper picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Buddy Thomas suffered the loss. Pat Fortier picked up his 1st save of the season.

Fred Rogers drove in one run for Baltimore. The 36-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 7-7 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Buddy Thomas. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Rogers. "But I like how we're playing right now."

The Clippers, now 4-1, have played some good baseball in the early going.
