Knickerbockers Claim Late Win
|
The New York Knickerbockers took Washington pitcher Bob Viola's best shot and still were able to claim a win at Monument Field. The final score had New York getting past the Eagles, 6-2. Viola went 7 innings and allowed 1 run, striking out 6. New York reliever Bruce Elsner picked up the win, upping his record to 5-0. Richie Kingery absorbed the loss. With the win, New York raised its record to 47-45.
New York used the timely hitting of Dwayne Lamons to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Knickerbockers on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Juan Placeholder.
