| Copperheads Deal Clippers 6-1 Setback | Behind the hitting of Don Riley, the Atlanta Copperheads stopped the Baltimore Clippers, 6-1. Riley was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks, while scoring 3 for the Copperheads. Atlanta is first in the Federal Association East with a record of 99-53.
Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for John Newton? The Atlanta shortstop had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Copperheads on top, 3-1. For the game, Newton had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.
"You score one run, you're not going to win," said Baltimore skipper Hank Luckenbaugh. "You can have three Koufaxes and three Drysdales, you're still not going to win."
