Bears Post 11-5 Win Over Atlanta
The Memphis Bears downed the Atlanta Foxes, 11-5, at Foxes Ballpark. The Bears were led by Frank Saunders. He went 2-4 with a triple, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 3. Howard Cook, who went 8.1 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 5 runs on 5 hits, while walking 4 and striking out 4. His record now stands at 10-13. The Bears have now won 4 straight.

Memphis right fielder Alphonse Johnson contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the seventh. With two down, he hit a fastball into right-center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 92nd hit of the season and put the Bears ahead, 5-3.

"Win or lose, we always try to grind it out and stay even-keeled," Johnson said in reaction to the win.
