New York Gets 7-6 Road Win
The New York Empires saddled the San Francisco Seagulls with a loss at Mission Field. The final score was 7-6. Buck DeFalco was 3 for 5, including 2 singles and 1 home run. The New York first baseman scored 3 runs and drove in 1. New York reliever Jack Pratt picked up the win to move to 2-3. Tim Stambaugh suffered the loss. New York has now won 3 in a row.

Had John Robertson not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Robertson hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Empires.

"It was a nice win for our side today," said Empires manager Jose Placeholder. "Not perfect, but we'll take it."
