Lords Win at New York, 5-2
Baltimore beat New York on the strength of starting pitcher Larry Diego's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 5-2. Diego picked up the win for Baltimore, going 7 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 2-0. Denny Boyd, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 1st save.

John Balliet dealt the Empires a blow in the top of the eighth. Batting with the bases loaded and Baltimore leading 3-2, Balliet, who is tied for 8th in the ABL in RBI with 9, hit a 1-0 sinker for a run-scoring single.

Balliet called the win "a collective effort."

The Empires fall to 5-9 and continue their lackluster start in 1972.
