Empires Walk It Off for 72nd Win of Season
Al Castro impressed in the 5-4 New York win over Toronto. Castro, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1967 draft, went 2-2 with a double. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. New York has run its win streak to 5 straight.

Javier Abarca was the walk-off hero for New York. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Empires shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Castro said.
