Seagulls Send Atlanta Home with 9-5 Loss
The home crowd had a good time watching the Atlanta Generals and San Francisco Seagulls get after it.

The San Francisco Seagulls withstood a fine game by Atlanta first baseman Ed Mika at Mission Field, to upend the Generals, 9-5. Mika slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Jerry Patrick picked up the win with 7 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 6 hits, while walking 5 and striking out 6. On the season, he is now 3-2.

Bobby Tapia had a big 2-run double for the Seagulls in the bottom of the third inning. With San Francisco trailing 2-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a knuckle curve from Gary Ovitt, who is tied for 3rd in the ABL in complete games with 2, and swatted a double to left. It was his 3rd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Seagulls ahead, 3-2.

"You start putting runs on the board and winning, everyone's going to get excited," said Tapia.

The Generals fall to 9-17 and continue their sputtering start to the 1975 season.
