French fanned seven in picking up the victory.
South Fulton was plagued by five errors that led to four unearned runs.

St. Louis to start
Ballpark Village
ST. LOUIS (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals anticipate breaking ground on Ballpark Village, long delayed by the economic downturn, in mid-November.
The $100 million first phase of the development is scheduled for completion by opening day in 2014. The announcement Tuesday followed approval by the Missouri Development Finance Board, one of the final steps in the approval process.
Team president William DeWitt III called it a “significant milestone in a long journey to make Ballpark Village a reality.”
