Hurons Waste Great Game from Luna
The inspired effort of Toronto center fielder Jorge Luna was not enough to prevent a loss, 5-4, to the New York Empires. Luna went 4-4 with 2 home runs and 2 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. With the win, New York upped its record to 79-62.

New York used the hitting of Miguel Preciado to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Empires on top, 4-1. For the game, Preciado had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Both teams played hard," said New York manager Dan Whiting.
