Knickerbockers Earn Clutch Win, 2-1
New York and Cincinnati played a hard-fought contest.

In a tight tilt between the New York Knickerbockers and the Cincinnati Packers, Chris Hull was the deciding factor. The New York right-hander spearheaded the 2-1 win. Jose Espinoza earned save number 16 this season.

New York used the timely hitting of Ron Freeman to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Knickerbockers on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"All in all, I thought Chris pitched a fine game for us tonight," said New York manager Joaquin Placeholder.

The Knickerbockers now have a record of 57-48 with the win over Cincinnati.
