Knickerbockers 6-3 Victors Over Pittsburgh
Francisco Chavez was a major factor in the 6-3 New York win over Pittsburgh. The Knickerbockers first baseman went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Vern Gould, the winning pitcher, improved to 14-10. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 4 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 1. Sid Shafer recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 1 for 2.

An inflection point occurred with no one out in the bottom of the second. That's when Knickerbockers catcher Rick Hotz hit a cutter from Joe Nall for a 2-run single. Just like that, New York was up, 2-1.

New York manager Sean Kelly commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."

New York goes to 77-81, Pittsburgh to 88-70.
