The Atlanta Copperheads overcame a good performance by New York right fielder Fred Davis to knock off New York, 5-4, at Peachtree Stadium. Davis was 4-5 with 4 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The win elevated the Copperheads to 107-50.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jack Abasi in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a 2-run double off 24-year old right-handed pitcher George Libby to win the game for Atlanta. The home crowd went nuts.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Atlanta manager Don Fox. "It's usually not just one thing."
