New York Gets 6-5 Win Versus Washington in 12
The New York Knickerbockers picked up a win at Knickerbocker Stadium, taking down the Washington Eagles, 6-5, in 12 innings. On the mound for New York was right-hander Dave Torre. He played a central role in the triumph. New York reliever Jose Espinoza snagged the win, upping his record to 2-2. Tommy Morton shouldered the loss. The 5th-place Knickerbockers now have a win-loss record of 40-41.

New York got a knockout punch from Steve Wright. The second baseman hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the 12th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Dave was exceptional and he pitched with a purpose," said New York manager Timothy Widholm.
