Knickerbockers Take Tight Tangle
The New York Knickerbockers withstood a fine game by Chicago first baseman Fran Precourt at Knickerbocker Stadium, to upend the Traders, 6-5. Precourt went 4-5 with a triple, 3 singles, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. For the Traders, the loss makes them 10-15.

Batting in the bottom of the 11th, former first round draft pick Bruce Owen had a real shot to win the game. Chicago pitcher Jimmy Calhoun was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, Owen hit a run-scoring single. The Knickerbockers had a walk-off triumph.

"We had situations where we should have got some runs in, but we didn't get the runs in," said losing manager Larry Link.
