Atlanta Loses Again, 6-1
The Columbus Bowsers downed the Atlanta Aggies, 6-1, at Ballpark of Columbus. Stellar pitching by Jose Rodriguez had a lot to do with it. The right-hander handcuffed his opponent all game. Columbus has now won 5 games in a row.

The Aggies had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Bowsers going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old first baseman Nick Creswell came to the plate. Creswell hit a 2-run home run on a 0-2 slider from Atlanta hurler Joe Turner. It was Creswell's 8th home run of the year.

"My gosh almighty, Jose was tremendous," said Columbus manager Joe Mills.
