Empires Rally Late to Nip Wolverines
Detroit got a terrific performance from pitcher Scott Litwak, but it wasn't enough to beat the New York Empires. New York won the Queens Field contest, 4-3. Litwak threw 7.2 innings of shutout ball for the losing team. The win elevated the Empires to 77-77.

The decisive blow was delivered by Rick Lintner in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 28-year old right-handed pitcher Darrell Klug to win the game for New York. The home crowd went nuts.

"The crowd went nuts," Lintner said.
