Empires Win, 7-6, Versus Montreal
The New York Empires spoiled a good performance by Montreal center fielder Jerry Sullivan, bumping off Montreal, 7-6, at Queens Field. Sullivan went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Dave Kretz picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 5-5. Al Johns suffered the loss. New York raised its record to 67-44 with the win.

Al Castro was the walk-off hero for New York. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Empires right fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"The crowd was raucous," said Castro.
