Empires Win, 8-3, at Toronto
New York Empires starter Larry Stanford pitched well against the Toronto Hurons at Dominion Field, leading his team to a win, 8-3. The American Baseball League Eastern Division-leading Empires have a record of 73-56.

New York shortstop Dave Matuzak contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fourth. With two down, he hit a changeup to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 61st hit of the season and put the Empires ahead, 4-1.

"I was just trying to execute one pitch at a time," said Stanford.
