Generals Tack 4-3 Loss on Wolverines
The Atlanta Generals picked up a win at Wolverine Field, taking down the Detroit Wolverines, 4-3. Starting pitcher Gary Ovitt was a big reason why. The win went to Ron Winder in relief. His record improves to 6-4. Elmer Bernstein took the loss. The third-place Generals sport a record of 53-48.

Kyle Devine, who finished 3rd in the ABL in doubles with 39 in 1973, had a direct impact on the outcome. Devine contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning to put Atlanta up, 4-3.

"My job is to go out and execute," said Ovitt.
