Kotarski Boss in 8-0 Atlanta Win
The Atlanta Copperheads rode a solid performance from 30-year-old starting pitcher Jack Kotarski to a win, beating the Boston Minutemen, 8-0, at Peachtree Stadium. Atlanta, having won 14 in a row, is now 96-52.

Atlanta starter Jack Kotarski was exceptional. The 5-foot-10 right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits over 8.2 innings of work.

"I just made my pitches," said Kotarski, "and the ball kept missing the bat."
