New York Gets 5-2 Road Win
Starting pitcher Jerry Bigelow had a solid game. He was a big reason the New York Knickerbockers throttled the Kansas City Bulls, 5-2. Wayne Houston got the save, the 15th for him this season. The Knickerbockers, at 67-68, sit in 4th place in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

New York used the hitting of Steve Wells to pick up the win. The third baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Knickerbockers on top, 3-2. For the game, Wells had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Jerry worked through their lineup really well," said New York manager Sean Kelly.
