The New York Empires went home winners at Queens Field, thanks in large part to starter Jon Pierce. Pierce stifled the Atlanta Generals, enabling New York to grab the 2-0 win. Tom Duncan notched his 8th save in 14 chances. New York is now 86-67, Atlanta 72-81.

The Generals had little chance against Pierce, who overpowered Atlanta hitters and struck out 12.
