New York Wins, 7-6, Over Generals
The New York Empires defeated the Atlanta Generals, 7-6, in part because of center fielder Roger Hickey. Hickey was 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Empires. After today's action, New York sits at 41-33, while Atlanta falls to 30-44.

The game was at a stalemate until second baseman Javier Abarca came to bat in the top of the tenth. Facing Atlanta pitcher Napoleon Russi, he hit a 1-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 7-6.

"We didn't let this one get away," said Hickey.
