The New York Empires defeated the Chicago Hawks, 4-3. Doing his part was shortstop Chuck Estrada, who was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. The Hawks fall to 10-14 and continue their uneven start to the 1977 season.

Estrada had a timely hit for New York in the bottom of the eighth. With New York trailing 3-2, he turned a first pitch cutter into a 2-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season, making it 4-3, New York.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a good chance to win the game," said Estrada.
