Lords Top Empires in Extras, 4-3
The Baltimore Lords faced a tough opponent in New York pitcher Jack Neenan, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Queens Field by a final score of 4-3 in 13 innings. Neenan went 10 innings and allowed 3 runs. The victory gives the Lords a record of 49-39.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Mike Sheffield? The former first round draft pick Sheffield stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the 13th inning to put Baltimore up, 4-3. For the game, he was 3 for 6, including 1 double and 2 singles.

Said Sheffield: "It's just one win, but it feels like more when you outlast a tough opponent."
