Fans witnessed a whale of a game between the New York Empires and Boston Terriers.

In a close game at Atlantic Avenue Grounds, the New York Empires edged the Boston Terriers, 5-4. New York second baseman Gary Austin stood apart with his performance. He went 3-5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs. The win went to Danilo Molina in relief, making him now 3-5. Bill Falcon took the loss for Boston.

Paul Brower went 2 for 4 with 2 singles for New York. The 31-year old right fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the ninth. With one out and a runner on 3rd, he broke a 4-4 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Bill Falcon. It was his 35th RBI of the season.

"We found a way to get it done," Austin said.

The American Baseball League Eastern Division-leading Empires have a record of 60-41.
