New York Win Evens Series at 1
The New York Empires topped the Seattle Emeralds by the score of 4-2 and moved into a 1-1 tie in the League Championship Series today. The largest share of the credit belongs to New York starter Lew Johnson, who threw 9 innings of 6-hit ball in the win.

New York used the clutch hitting of Jerry Durian to capture the win. The shortstop drilled a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Empires ahead, 4-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Seattle skipper Mark Velez, "and it cost us."

Game 3 is scheduled for Friday at Queens Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Juan Buenrostro for Seattle and Charlie Lambert for New York.
