New York Win to Pull Even With Cincinnati
The New York Knickerbockers topped the Cincinnati Packers by the score of 6-2 and moved into a 2-2 tie in the League Championship Series today. The largest share of the credit belongs to New York starter Doug Leonard, who threw 8.2 innings of 5-hit ball in the win.

New York relied on the bat of Jim Fulkerson to get the win. The second baseman ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Knickerbockers ahead, 3-2. For the game, Fulkerson had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"Every team in baseball loses," Packers manager Martin Abresch said. "We're in the playoffs and we still have the same guys that got us here. We'll bounce back."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Roman Arena in Cincinnati.
