Knickerbockers Nudge Past Traders, 7-6
The New York Knickerbockers faced a tough opponent in Chicago pitcher Skip Crawford, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Knickerbocker Stadium by a final score of 7-6. Crawford went 5.1 innings and allowed 2 runs. The New York win streak is now 3 games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bob Underwood in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old left-handed pitcher Randy Weisenberg to win the game for New York. The home crowd went nuts.

"Now that's my kind of ending," said a smiling Underwood.
