New York Wins, 5-4, Over Copperheads
Earl Ferry was a major contributor to the 5-4 New York win over Atlanta. The Gothams catcher was 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Bunny Mullins picked up the win, improving his season record to 19-9. He struck out 5 in 8 innings. The Gothams now have a record of 95-65 with the win over Atlanta.

The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Ferry delivered big-time for New York, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Frank Maxwell. The game-changing hit put the Gothams on top, 5-4.

"Young guys to old guys," said Ferry, "we're all going out there and doing what it takes to win."
