New York Loses, 7-5, to Cincinnati in 13
Despite a great performance by New York shortstop Dwayne Lamons, the Cincinnati Packers defeated the Knickerbockers by the score of 7-5 in 13 innings at Knickerbocker Stadium. Lamons was 3 for 4 with 3 singles and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Steve Meckley, credited with the win in relief, is now 3-0. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits in 4 innings. The win boosts the Packers to 38-39. The loss puts the Knickerbockers at 39-40.

Cincinnati relied on the bat of Dave Taranto to get the win. The second baseman ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the 13th inning to put the Packers ahead, 5-4. For the game, Taranto had 1 double and 1 triple in 7 at-bats.

"Our team showed some resilience," said Taranto.
