Traders Hammered by Rojas, Fall Further Behind in LCS
Riding the 3-hit performance of shortstop Victor Rojas, the New York Knickerbockers got a road win against the Chicago Traders, 5-4, in Game 3 of the League Championship Series today. Rojas went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Knickerbockers, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 3 games to 0.

Rojas had an important at-bat with a runner on 1st in the top of the seventh, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Knickerbockers went on to win.

"This was a good win for us," said Rojas. "It's one more step toward our ultimate goal."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow in Chicago. The scheduled starters for the game are Herb Hinton for New York and Ken Amison for Chicago.
