New York Gets 7-2 Win
New York parlayed a decent outing from starter Andy Humphrey into a solid win over the Atlanta Generals. The final score was 7-2. Humphrey, now 2-0, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 2, walking 1, and allowing 2 runs. With the win, New York improves its record to 5-4.

New York catcher Eddie Ellison contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the first. With two down, he hit a fastball to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 6th hit of the season and put the Empires ahead, 2-0.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said New York skipper Dan Whiting.
