Generals Score Late to Beat Empires, 4-3
The Atlanta Generals knocked off the New York Empires, 4-3, in American Baseball League action at Queens Field. Atlanta pitcher and Glendale, California, native Frank Noorani had an outstanding performance. New York now is 11-6.

Atlanta used the timely hitting of Preston Lee to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Generals on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It was a good effort all around," said Noorani.
