A nice crowd turned out for a clash between the New York Empires and Detroit Wolverines.

Good production from third baseman Rick Lintner helped the New York Empires topple the Detroit Wolverines, 13-1. Lintner was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 5 for the Empires. The setback makes Detroit 41-37.

With New York leading 5-1 in the top of the sixth, Lintner came up to bat against Detroit pitcher Paul Carter. Lintner hit a splitter to right for a 3-run home run. His 10th home run of the season put the Empires on top, 8-1.

"Not much went right for us," Detroit manager Alex Wobbema said, when asked afterward about the game.
