Terriers Snatch Late-Game, 4-3 Win
Boston registered a win at Atlantic Avenue Grounds by beating the New York Empires, 4-3. Pitcher Bruce Shurtleff was one reason why the Terriers triumphed. Tim Jepperson, now 11-7, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 2 and walking 1. Boston has 3 straight wins, New York 4 straight losses.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Boston left fielder Mike Cash, facing Nate Frampton, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Terriers the 4-3 win.

"We're in a little bit of a dry spell," said New York manager Jose Placeholder.
