The New York Empires reigned over the Montreal Habitants in damp conditions.

The New York Empires clobbered the Montreal Habitants, 15-1, at Queens Field. New York right fielder Al Castro led the onslaught. He was 4 for 4 with a triple, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 7. Larry Stanford picked up the win with 5.2 innings of work. He allowed 1 run on 4 hits, while walking 2 and striking out 1. On the season, he is now 13-6.

Rick Lintner, who finished 3rd in the ABL in OPS with .968 last year, chipped in a 2-run single for New York in the bottom of the first. For the game, the third baseman had 4 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 3 singles, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"I like our moxie," said Empires manager Dan Whiting.

New York leads the American Baseball League Eastern Division by 4½ games.
