Empires Thwart Generals, 3-1
The New York Empires picked up a win at Queens Field, courtesy of Jack Neenan. The right-hander helped his team stop the Atlanta Generals, 3-1. New York goes to 44-28. The win puts them 2½ games up in their division.

Had Rick Haun not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Haun hit a 2-run single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Empires.

Neenan called the win a testament to his team's "grit."
