8-4 Win Gets Seattle to 55-44
The Seattle Emeralds saddled the New York Empires with a loss at Puget Field. The final score was 8-4. Ron Roseboro was 2 for 3, including 1 single and 1 home run. The Seattle right fielder scored 3 runs and drove in 1. This win makes it 5 in a row for Seattle.

The Empires had been locked in a 4-4 tie with the Emeralds going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 29-year old left fielder Gene Gunter came to the plate. Gunter hit a bases-clearing double on a 2-1 sinker from New York hurler Jon Pierce. It was Gunter's 2nd double of the year.

"I still think this team can play even better," Roseboro told the Seattle Chronicle.
