Gretzky Stars in 5-1 Braves Win
The Atlanta Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates by a score of 5-1. Atlanta right fielder Erik Gretzky deserved the lion's share of the credit. Gretzky was 2-4 with 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice for the Braves. The victory makes Atlanta 10-9.

J.J. Powers, the 23-year old shortstop , had a direct impact on the outcome. Powers contributed a run-scoring hit-by-pitch in the top of the sixth inning to put Atlanta up, 3-0.

Gretzky told a Atlanta Citizen reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.
