The home crowd had a good time watching the Atlanta Falcons and Green Bay Packers get after it.

The Atlanta Falcons went down to defeat to Eric Newton and his Green Bay teammates. The final score was 6-2, in favor of the Packers. The Falcons, now 10-18, continue their inauspicious start.

The Packers got a big at-bat from left fielder Josh Fuller. For the game, Fuller was 1 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Green Bay a 4-2 lead.

Said losing manager Jake Hodgkinson: "Obviously, we wished for a better outcome."
