Bulls Fall Short, 5-4, at New York
The New York Knickerbockers grabbed a win, 5-4, over the Kansas City Bulls at Knickerbocker Stadium. New York first baseman Francisco Chavez was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 2. Joaquin Hernandez got credit for the win, improving to 3-3. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 1.1 innings. The Knickerbockers, now 76-57, have won 6 in a row.

An inflection point occurred with one out in the bottom of the third. That's when Knickerbockers center fielder Steve Hudson hit a changeup from Tom Mitchell for a 2-run single. Just like that, New York was up, 3-2.

"We were the better team," crowed Hudson.
