The New York Empires knocked off the Montreal Habitants, 9-5, in American Baseball League action at Queens Field.

The Empires improved their record to 21-18 by beating Montreal.

New York got a big at-bat from Tampa, Florida native Gary Austin, who in the bottom of the fourth hit a bases-clearing double. It was his 10th double of the season and put the Empires ahead, 7-0.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Austin, "one at-bat at a time."
