ATLANTA BATS COME THROUGH WHEN NEEDED AS SERIES GOES TO 3-3
Atlanta 9 @ Boston 4
A 7-run 3rd inning by Atlanta ends this contest almost before it has begun and only a late flurry by the home side makes it even remotely respectable. Boston starter Doc White is shelled hard as Hank Aaron stars for the Firebirds, who guarantee themselves at least one more home game in the Series.
