Host Industrials Drop Pivotal Game 5, Now Trail Series 3-2
Game 5 was big. So was Jose Espinoza.

The New York starter rose to the occasion at Allegheny Field today, leading the Knickerbockers to a crucial 4-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Industrials. Espinoza threw 9.0 innings of shutout ball as the Knickerbockers won on the road to seize a 3-2 lead in the best-of-7 Divisional Series.

Espinoza went the distance for New York. He allowed no runs on 3 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 1.

"I felt good even in the late innings," said Espinoza after the game.

Game 6 is scheduled for Tuesday at Knickerbocker Stadium in New York.
