Empires Get 3-2 Win Versus Atlanta
Atlanta got a big-time effort from pitcher George Palmer, but it wasn't enough to keep the New York Empires from winning the game, 3-2. Palmer threw 8.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. The 4th-place Generals dropped to 73-76.

Jerry Olsen, the 15th overall pick in the 1974 draft, had a direct impact on the outcome. Olsen contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put New York up, 3-2.

New York manager Dan Whiting praised his team's "energy."
