Extra-Inning Win by Empires Over Northmen
The New York Empires downed the Twin Cities Northmen, 7-3, at Twin Cities Stadium. The Empires were led by Rick Lintner. Lintner went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Early on, the Empires, at 21-6, have played an impressive brand of baseball.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Lowell Bickle? The New York first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the 11th inning to put the Empires on top, 4-3. For the game, Bickle had 1 double and 3 singles in 6 at-bats.

"Our team showed some resilience," said Lintner.
