The New York Empires defeated the Dallas Wranglers, 13-8. Center Fielder Roger Hickey deserved a large share of the credit. Hickey went 3-3 with a home run, 2 doubles, and 2 walks. He scored 5 times and drove in 3 for the Empires. The winning pitcher was Nate Frampton. His record now stands at 5-3. The right-hander went 7.1 innings, allowing 8 runs on 9 hits for the Empires. New York is now 18-16, Dallas 20-14.

Early in the game, Hickey had a 3-run home run for New York. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Empires on top, 5-2.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Hickey told the New York Herald.
