Empires Earn Late 6-5 Win
The New York Empires downed the Boston Terriers, 6-5, at Queens Field. The Empires were led by Javier Abarca. Abarca was 2-2 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The Empires, now 13-5, have played inspired baseball.

Lowell Bickle was the walk-off hero for New York. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Empires second baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"He who laughs last laughs best," Bickle said, postgame.
