Baltimore got a valiant performance from pitcher Jose Martinez, but it wasn't enough to beat the Atlanta Copperheads. Atlanta won the game, 5-4. Martinez threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. Buddy Thomas, who is a two-time All-Star, was the winner in relief. His record is now 11-2. The losing pitcher was Stan Boone. Atlanta, at 101-39, is 35 games up in the Federal Association East.

Jack Blair was the walk-off hero for Atlanta. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Copperheads right fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Baltimore manager Hank Luckenbaugh.
