Late Rally by Northmen Secures 6-4 Win
Despite a fine performance by shortstop Dave Matuzak, the New York Empires lost to the Twin Cities Northmen, 6-4. Matuzak belted 2 home runs. The win was credited to Pete McMillian in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jack Neenan took the loss. Bill Smith earned the save for Twin Cities, his 1st.

Dave Weaver provided a timely hit. The Twin Cities pinch hitter delivered a 2-run triple in the top of the eighth inning to put the Northmen on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in the game, but he made it count.

Twin Cities manager Jason Gudim called it "a good, solid win."

The loss drops the Empires to 14-13.
