Generals Stymie Chicago, Take 11-1 Win
Atlanta first baseman Ed Mika played a vital role in his team's 11-1 conquest of Chicago. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 3 for Atlanta. Gary Ovitt got the win, improving to 13-12. He pitched 8 innings, giving up 6 hits and 1 run, while striking out 5 and walking 1. The win gives Atlanta a season record of 70-69.

Atlanta catcher Ron Bullins contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fourth. With two down, he hit a sinker to right field for a bases-clearing double. It was his 9th double of the season and put the Generals ahead, 10-1.

Said losing manager Mike Flaherty: "We did everything to set the stage for them to beat us."
