Foxes Win at Home, 5-2
Atlanta Foxes starter Squab Thomas pitched a strong game against the Chattanooga Nickajacks at Foxes Ballpark, leading the Foxes to victory, 5-2. The winner was Thomas. He threw 6.0 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Jim Landers. The win lifted the Atlanta record to 60-48.

An inflection point occurred with no one out in the bottom of the second. That's when Foxes catcher Herb Shackleford hit a sinker from Jim Landers for a 2-run single. Just like that, Atlanta was up, 2-1.

Said losing manager John Johnson: "It's very easy to sit in an ivory tower and critique the pitching, but the bottom line is we need to score runs."
