Blockbusters Stumble, Lose to Knickerbockers
The New York Knickerbockers polished off the Los Angeles Blockbusters by the score of 9-1. The largest share of the credit belonged to right fielder Wayne Baker. Baker was 3 for 5 with 2 triples and a double, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for the Knickerbockers. New York, now 48-46, holds down 4th place in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

New York used the hitting of Bob Underwood to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Knickerbockers on top, 2-1. For the game, Underwood had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We didn't put up much resistance," said losing manager John Trausch.
