Hodge, Generals Wreck Habitants, 12-1
The Atlanta Generals had no problem beating the Montreal Habitants, 12-1, at LaSalle Stadium. Zach Hodge led the way. He was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for Atlanta. Paul Hodges, who is rated as the 67th best prospect by BNN, was the winner. He's now 4-1. The loser was Manny Esparza. With the victory, the Generals upped their record to 76-65.

Atlanta used a clutch at-bat from Chris Berman to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Generals ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Montreal manager Michel Alexandre Cauchon summed up his team's performance in one word: "Pathetic."
