Wranglers Dealt 4-2 Loss by New York
New York Empires starter Jon Pierce was on his game, helping his team beat the Dallas Wranglers, 4-2. Pierce yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 9 hits, walked 2, and struck out 2. His record improves to 3-1. The win gives New York a record of 16-10.

Dave Martin had a big 2-run home run for the Empires in the bottom of the third inning. With New York leading 1-0 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a fastball from Bruce Elsner, who leads the ABL in wins with 4, and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Empires on top, 3-0.

After the game, New York manager Jason Jung applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.
