Emeralds Nip Empires, 3-2
The New York Empires got a sterling performance from pitcher Jon Pierce, but the Seattle Emeralds still prevailed, 3-2. Pierce threw 9.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The winner was Mike Harris, who threw 99 pitches over 6 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 6 hits. Carroll Reynolds picked up the save for Seattle, his 8th of the year.

Roberto Soto, who is tied for 9th in the ABL in triples with 5, had a direct impact on the outcome. Soto contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put Seattle up, 3-2.

"We're scuffling right now," said losing manager Dan Whiting.

Seattle has now won 4 games in a row.
