Jon Pierce never let Detroit get something going. The New York left-hander commanded his sinker in pitching the Empires to a 4-1 win. Pierce yielded 1 run over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 3, and struck out 3. His record improves to 10-6. The victory gives New York a record of 65-65.

Dave Matuzak had a direct impact on the outcome. Matuzak contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the third inning to put New York up, 1-0.

"If you pitch well, you give yourself some opportunities," said New York manager Jason Jung.
