Habitants Absorb 11-6 Home Loss
The Atlanta Generals topped the Montreal Habitants, 11-6, in American Baseball League action at LaSalle Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Atlanta pitcher Joe Johnson. The win elevated the Generals to 76-63.

Matt Legrow had a big bases-clearing double for the Generals in the top of the first inning. With Atlanta leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from Oscar Rodela, who finished 2nd in the ABL in ERA with 2.48 last year, and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 19th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Generals ahead, 4-0.

"We took home the win," said Legrow. "What's not to like?"
