Tony Perez knocked 3 homeruns and had 4 RBI and Gary Nolan went the distance
as the Cincinnati Reds defeated the Atlanta Braves by the score of 6 to 2 at
Fulton Co Stadium.
 
Perez had a great evening at the plate.  He smashed a two-run homer in the 1st
inning, ripped a solo home run in the 4th inning and smashed a solo-shot out
of the park in the 8th inning.  Cincinnati finished with 9 hits in the
victory.  
 
Nolan(8-7) was the winner allowing 2 runs for the game. Pat Jarvis(7-6)
suffered the loss.  He allowed 4 runs and 6 hits in 7 innings.  
 
'Ahhh, that victory was surely needed.  Man alive, things were getting awfully
grim,' noted Dave Bristol.  'Now, we need to string a bunch of wins together
and turn things around!'
