Wolverines Sunk by Generals
Bill Davis, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1968 draft, was locked in. The right-hander led the Atlanta Generals to a 7-4 win against the Detroit Wolverines at Atlantic Station Field. Davis picked up the win for Atlanta, going 7 innings. He gave up 4 runs on 8 hits. He now sports a record of 1-0. Frank Noorani notched his 1st save of the season.

Atlanta took a 5-4 lead on Steve Walp's 1st home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Walp hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Detroit pitcher Brian Long visibly frustrated.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Walp.

The Generals raised their record to 2-1.
