Smoke Pull Back to Even with 4-2 Victory
The Smoke had to overcome a fine effort from Boston pitcher Jorge Aguirre to grab a 4-2 win at Dunkin Donuts Park. Aguirre went 6.1 innings and allowed 2 earned runs. Clancy McKinney got the win, improving to 2-1. He pitched 6.2 innings, giving up 5 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 4 and walking 4. The Smoke are now 24-24, while the Patriots fall to 28-20.

Tied up with the Patriots in the top of the seventh, the Smoke got a boost from shortstop Anthony Johnston. With a runner on 3rd, Johnston saw a 0-1 splitter from Jesús Caldero and hit a run-scoring double to break the stalemate and put Atlanta on top, 3-2.

Boston manager Tyler Carter said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.
