Empires Slap 8-6 Loss on Terriers
New York and Boston duked it out and the Empires came out victorious.

Empires shortstop Dave Matuzak left his mark on his team's 8-6 win over the Boston Terriers. Matuzak, the 25th overall pick in the 1965 draft, was 2 for 5 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for New York in the contest. Tom Duncan, who finished 4th in the ABL in saves with 19 in 1970, earned the save for New York.

With New York leading 2-1 in the top of the third, Matuzak hit a cutter from Roger Pochatko for a grand slam home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Empires ahead, 6-1.

"We got the victory," said Matuzak. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."

New York goes to 1-2.
