Chicago turned a good effort from starter Ken Eldridge into a win over the Atlanta Generals at Atlantic Station Field. The final score was 8-2. Eldridge yielded 2 runs over 7.1 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 5, and struck out 4. His record improves to 7-12. Ron Woods closed it out for Chicago, earning his 10th save.

In the top of the fifth, Chicago first baseman Don Bozza had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and two out, Bozza stroked a 2-run single to center. It made the score 6-0, Chicago. For the game, he was 2-4 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"The effort wasn't good enough," said losing manager Philipe Yazzie.

The 4th-place Generals have dropped 4 straight games.
