Toronto Dealt 6-3 Defeat
New York left-hander Jon Pierce pitched his team to victory over the Toronto Hurons at Dominion Field. The final score was 6-3. With the win, New York has a record of 55-51. Toronto falls to 47-59.

New York used a well-timed hit by Dave Matuzak to capture the win. The left fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Empires ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 3 at-bats, it was important.

"I was determined to go the distance," said Pierce.
