5-3 Loss Extends New York Skid
Mel Hartman, who finished 2nd in the NBL in ERA with 2.06 in 1968, propelled his team to victory over the New York Knickerbockers. The final score was 5-3, Philadelphia. Mark Garland closed the door for Philadelphia, picking up his 4th save of the year. This loss makes it 6 in a row for New York.

The Quakers got a big hit from second baseman Ron Paige. In the bottom of the sixth, Paige smacked a 2-run double off New York pitcher Ray Schifsky. It was his 6th double of the season. Suddenly, the Quakers were ahead, 3-2.

"I'm just trying to make sure I'm focused for each and every pitch," said Hartman.
