Firebirds Best Rangers in Pitching Duel
In a tight contest between the Atlanta Firebirds and the Texas Rangers, Rocky Edwards was the determining factor. The Atlanta left-hander sparkled in his team's 2-1 win. Joel Nelson got credit for the save for Atlanta. It was his 15th of the year. The victory puts Atlanta at 43-63.

The Firebirds got a big at-bat from third baseman Clarence Shelton. For the game, Shelton went 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the top of the second, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 7th home run of the season gave Atlanta a 2-1 lead.

"Every loss stings," said Texas manager Ron Robinson. "This one is no exception."
