Johnson Handcuffs Emeralds, Empires Seize 3-2 Advantage in LCS
In a pivotal Game 5, the New York Empires were hoping for a big game from starter Lew Johnson. They got one.

The right-hander shut out the Seattle Emeralds, proving to be the difference-maker as he led his club to a 5-0 victory. The Empires took the 5-0 win over the Seattle Emeralds to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 series.

Johnson pitched a complete game for New York. The right-hander was charged with no runs on 3 hits. He struck out 7 during his 110-pitch performance.

"They say the first rule of the playoffs is to win the home games," Johnson said afterward. "It feels nice, but it is kind of what we were supposed to do."

The next game is scheduled for Tuesday at Puget Field in Seattle. Slated to start are Bob Ott for the New York Empires and Juan Buenrostro for the the Seattle Emeralds.
