Quakers Get Clutch Win Versus New York
The Philadelphia Quakers defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 5-4, in National Baseball League action at Knickerbocker Stadium. Philadelphia pitcher Bob Freeland had a standout performance. Art Wohlt earned his 1st save, after closing out the game. The Knickerbockers drop to 4-6 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1972 season.

Philadelphia used the timely hitting of Mike McElhaney to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Quakers on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It never gets old," said McElhaney. "Winning, that is."
