The Baltimore Lords locked up a win at Seton Hill Stadium, knocking off the New York Empires, 4-2. On the mound for Baltimore was right-hander Dan Valenti. He played a major role in the triumph. The Baltimore winning streak has reached 3 games.

The outcome was still in doubt with two out in the top of the fifth inning, but Valenti was able to pitch out of a jam. With runners on 1st and 3rd and New York trailing 3-1, Valenti retired Eddie Ellison, who flied out.
