Victory Pushes Pilots Record to 34-29
Despite a great performance by Detroit shortstop Rico Garcia Jr., the Atlanta Pilots defeated the Motors by the score of 8-5 at The Hangar. Garcia Jr. was 2 for 4 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Atlanta reliever Jared Leadbetter picked up the win, upping his record to 4-1. Jaiden LeFlore absorbed the loss. Gary Ayala, who is tied for 10th in the EC in holds with 1, nailed down the save.

The Pilots beat the Motors in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out single Micah Meredith produced in the bottom of the seventh. Batting against Jaiden LeFlore, Meredith gave his team the lead, 6-5, when he hit a run-scoring single.

Atlanta manager Terry Farrand was pleased with the team's effort. "Our guys went out there and put good wood on the ball," he said.

The win for the Pilots raised their record to 34-29.
