Foxes Drop Black Magic, 4-1, with Late Score
The Atlanta Foxes downed the Birmingham Black Magic, 4-1, at Black Magic Ballpark. Stellar pitching by Leroy Nealy had a lot to do with it. The left-hander, who is tied for 3rd in the GSL with a 2.19 ERA, handcuffed his opponent all game. The last-place Foxes go to 55-60.

Atlanta took a 2-1 lead on Henry Martin's 4th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Martin hit in the top of the eighth, left Birmingham pitcher John Biot visibly frustrated.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Martin.
