Atlanta Beaten, 6-4, by Dallas
The Atlanta Falcons got a superb performance from pitcher Matt Maxwell, but the Dallas Cowboys still won the game, 6-4. Maxwell threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball. Dallas reliever Derek Cafiso was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Eric Jenkins. The Falcons fall to 4-12 and continue their unimpressive start to the 2002 season.

Dallas took a 6-4 lead on Steve Benson's 1st triple of the season. The 2-run triple, which Benson hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Atlanta pitcher Eric Jenkins visibly frustrated.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Benson. "It sure beats the alternative."
