Pivotal Game 5 Goes to Host Empires, 6-2
The New York Empires moved to within one game of the World Series today, downing the visiting San Francisco Seagulls at Queens Field by a score of 6-2. Empires right-hander Jo-Jo Lavelle was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 9 innings of 7-hit ball. The win gives the Empires a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.

Harry Sova aided the New York cause with a 2-run double in the bottom of the third. For the game, the center fielder went 2 for 4 with a double, while adding 2 RBI.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Lavelle.

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 14th, 1947 at Mission Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Mike Higgins for New York and Neil Meredith for San Francisco.
