Close Win Moves Empires to 15-13
New York Empires pitcher Andy Humphrey was in fine form, leading his team past the Chicago Hawks, 1-0. The Hawks fall to 12-15 and continue their lackluster start in 1974.

Lowell Bickle, who finished 4th in the ABL in doubles with 40 in 1970, had a direct impact on the outcome. Bickle contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the first inning to put New York up, 1-0.

"If we keep winning the close games," Humphrey said, "we'll be in good shape at the end."
