Knickerbockers Score Late, Clip Burros, 5-4
New York parlayed a decent outing from starter Chris Hull into a solid win over the Denver Burros. The final score was 5-4. The New York win streak is now 3 games.

New York took a 5-4 lead on Wayne Baker's 14th double of the season. The run-scoring double, which Baker hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Denver pitcher Bob Langham visibly frustrated.

"We ground out the win," said Baker. "That's all that matters."
