He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Andy Humphrey was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 2 runs on 8 hits, with 3 walks and 2 strikeouts. With the win, New York upped its record to 43-31.

The game turned with one out in the top of the fourth. That's when Ellison hit a 2-run double off Bill Hill. It propelled the Empires into the lead, 3-1.

"You can't sugarcoat this one," said Chicago manager Mike Flaherty. "They smoked us."
