At Patapsco Field, the Atlanta Copperheads and Baltimore Clippers were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Baltimore Clippers defeated the Atlanta Copperheads, 8-5, at Patapsco Field. Baltimore was led by former first round draft pick Ike Barnett, who was 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Baltimore reliever Tony Smith picked up the win, upping his record to 1-0. John McCormick was saddled with the loss.

Buddy Rice drew 1 walk in 4 trips to the plate for Baltimore. In a tie game with one out in the bottom of the eighth, Rice came through with a run-scoring walk. It put the Clippers in front, 5-4.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Barnett.

The 4th-place Clippers go to 75-77.
