Toronto Defeated by New York, 5-2
The New York Empires picked up a win at Dominion Field, knocking off the Toronto Hurons, 5-2. Starting pitcher Jack Neenan was a big reason why. Neenan yielded 2 runs over 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 3. His record improves to 1-0. The loss drops Toronto to 2-2.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Al Castro? The New York right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the third inning to put the Empires on top, 4-1. For the game, Castro had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Castro attributed the win to "everyone pulling their weight."
