Atlantic Station Field was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Atlanta Generals and New York Empires.

The Atlanta Generals picked up a win at Atlantic Station Field, knocking off the New York Empires, 4-3. On the mound for Atlanta was right-hander Bill Davis. He played a key role in the triumph. Davis, now 10-14, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 6, walking 1, and allowing 3 runs.

Matt Legrow, who is a two-time All-Star, chipped in a solo home run for Atlanta in the bottom of the eighth. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 3 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 1 run batted in.

"You can't take yourself too seriously," Davis told the Atlanta Bulletin. "But at the end of the day, we do play to win ballgames."

The loss makes New York 74-73.
