The New York Knickerbockers called upon starter Jack Forbes, and he delivered, leading his team to victory over the Cincinnati Packers, 3-2. Forbes, now 6-6, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 9 hits, while striking out 4, walking 2, and allowing 2 runs. Ollie Hundley recorded the save, making him 17 for 24.

Wayne Baker, who finished 2nd in the NBL in triples with 12 in 1966, had a direct impact on the outcome. Baker contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put New York up, 3-1.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said Forbes.

The win puts New York at 44-44 this season.
