Fans watched the Seattle Emeralds and the New York Empires fight to the finish.

Jack Neenan could take little solace in pitching a good game. The fact is his New York Empires lost, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Seattle Emeralds at Queens Field. Pat Burkholder, the winning pitcher, improved to 7-7. He pitched 6.1 innings, giving up 8 hits and 1 run, while striking out 3 and walking 1.

Pat Burkholder threw 6.1 innings allowing 1 run for Seattle. The four-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the top of the fifth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Jack Neenan. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"I really like what we did out there today," Burkholder said after the game.

The current losing streak for New York has reached 4 games.
