In a remarkable performance, New York Empires starter Larry Stanford beat the Seattle Emeralds, 3-0, in an impressive 5-hit shutout.

The Empires hurler finished with 2 strikeouts and 3 walks. He showed pinpoint control and a sharp fastball.

"It was a rough one for my guys," Seattle manager Mark Velez said, following the game. "We weren't at our best and their guy was."
