The Brooklyn Bluebirds defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 7-2, in National Baseball League action at Knickerbocker Stadium. Oscar Gonzalez pulled his weight. The 8-year veteran went 2-3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. Bob Hill closed the game out for Brooklyn, earning his 12th save. The win lifted the Brooklyn record to 51-50.

With Brooklyn leading 1-0 in the top of the fourth, Gonzalez hit a sinker from Danny Abril for a 2-run home run. It was his 9th home run of the season and put the Bluebirds ahead, 3-0.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said Brooklyn skipper John Meeker.
