Big Day for Chavez in 9-4 Knickerbockers Win
The skies opened up and the rain fell at Allegheny Field.

The New York Knickerbockers defeated the Pittsburgh Industrials by the score of 9-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to first baseman Francisco Chavez. Chavez went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Knickerbockers on the day. The winner was Ray Schifsky, who threw 102 pitches over 7.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 3 runs on 7 hits.

New York used the hitting of Bob Underwood to pick up the win. The left fielder clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Knickerbockers on top, 5-2. For the game, Underwood had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Pedal to the metal" is how New York manager Joaquin Placeholder described his team's approach.

The loss makes the Industrials 6-9.
