Lords Win, 7-6, in 12
Led by Tom Payton, the Baltimore Lords defeated the New York Empires, 7-6, in 12 innings. Payton went 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for the Lords. Denny Boyd claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record stands at 5-6. The Lords now have a record of 31-22.

The decisive blow was delivered by Mike Sheffield in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a solo home run off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Tom Duncan to win the game for Baltimore. The home crowd went nuts.

"We earned that one," said Payton.
