Knickerbockers Win, Downing Packers, 6-3
Behind a solid performance from left fielder Javier Guerra, the New York Knickerbockers defeated the Cincinnati Packers, 6-3. Guerra hit 2 home runs for the Knickerbockers. Brian Williams, credited with the save, is now 6 for 12 in save opportunities. New York has won 3 straight, while Cincinnati has lost 3 in a row.

Stan Blechinger had a big solo home run for the Knickerbockers in the top of the third inning. With New York leading 1-0 and the bases empty, he sized up a knuckle curve from Alex Fonseca, who finished 5th in the NBL in wins with 17 in 1972, and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Knickerbockers on top, 2-0.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Guerra.
