New York starter Jon Pierce kept the Detroit offense from doing much damage. The left-hander leaned on his sinker in leading the Empires to a 4-1 win. Pierce picked up the win for New York, going 8.1 innings. He gave up 1 run on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 10-3. Picking up the save was Steve Carroll. He's now 3 for 4 in save chances.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Al Castro? The New York right fielder had a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Empires on top, 3-1. For the game, Castro had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I really like what we did out there today," Castro said after the game.

The triumph puts New York at 45-35 for the season.
