Falcons Sneak Past Rams, 5-4
The Atlanta Falcons had to overcome a big game from St. Louis first baseman Griffin Fesperman to leave Georgia Dome with a victory. And they did, winning, 5-4, in 14 innings. Fesperman went 4 for 6 with a home run and 3 singles. The last-place Falcons improved to 19-27.

The decisive blow was delivered by Sergio Zamorano in the bottom of the 14th when he hit a run-scoring double off 17-year veteran Melvin Cisnero to win the game for Atlanta. The home crowd went nuts.

"No one player deserves all the credit when you win," Zamorano said. "And the same is true when you lose."
