Blockbusters Drop 5-1 Decision to Knickerbockers
The New York Knickerbockers defeated the Los Angeles Blockbusters by the score of 5-1, with the biggest share of the credit going to right fielder Steve Wright.

With New York leading 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Wright hit a curveball from Joe Hamby for a solo home run. It was his 16th home run of the season and put the Knickerbockers ahead, 3-1.

Wright attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
