The New York Empires extended their winning streak.

Dave Helms was a vital contributor to the 5-3 New York victory over Atlanta. The Empires first baseman was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Getting the save was Tom Duncan, his 4th.

With New York leading 3-2 in the top of the fifth, Helms hit a run-scoring single off Atlanta hurler Scott Dubyak. It was the 5th hit of the season for Helms and put his team ahead, 4-2.

"I believe in our guys," said New York skipper Jose Placeholder. "I like the energy they're playing with."

The loss puts Atlanta at 13-6.
