New York turned a good effort from starter Harry Melendez into a win over the Brooklyn Bluebirds at Knickerbocker Stadium. The final score was 3-0. Brooklyn, with the loss, is 5-6.

The Knickerbockers got a big at-bat from center fielder Ron Freeman. For the game, Freeman was 1-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 2nd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave New York a 2-0 lead.

"Watch and learn," said Freeman. "This is what good pitching looks like."
