Cincinnati Dispatched, 10-5, by New York
Though he had a stellar game, Glen Bennett could not prevent his team, the Cincinnati Packers, from losing, 10-5, to the New York Knickerbockers. Bennett was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs. The New York win streak is now 3 games.

Rick Hotz came through for New York with a 3-run home run in the bottom of the first. The catcher went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 2 runs and collected 3 RBI.

In comments to the New York Today, Hotz admitted that he doesn't always push himself. "But the results," he said, "speak for themselves."
