Knickerbockers Upend Packers, 5-2
New York parlayed a decent outing from starter Dave Torre into a solid win over the Cincinnati Packers. The final score was 5-2. In 8.2 innings, Torre surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 5. He allowed 2 runs. The win puts New York at 8-7.

New York used a clutch at-bat from Ron Freeman to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Knickerbockers ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I was able to fill up the zone," said Torre.
