Empires Win at Baltimore, 5-3
Pete Ragsdale, who finished 4th in the ABL in ERA with 1.98 in 1967, propelled his team to victory over the Baltimore Lords. The final score was 5-3, New York. Ragsdale picked up the win for New York, going 8 innings. He gave up 3 runs on 7 hits. He now sports a record of 2-1. Earning his 2nd save of the year was Tom Duncan.

New York relied on the bat of Dave Matuzak to get the win. The shortstop ripped a run-scoring triple in the top of the sixth inning to put the Empires ahead, 4-3. For the game, Matuzak had 1 double and 1 triple in 4 at-bats.

"No disrespect to the other team," said New York manager John Harris. "But it's nice to get an easy win."

Baltimore drops to 9-10.
