The New York Knickerbockers had to weather a strong performance from Cleveland pitcher Pat Burkholder before claiming a 3-2 win in 19 innings. Burkholder went 8.1 innings and allowed no runs. The Knickerbockers improved to 22-20.

The Knickerbockers got a clutch hit from center fielder Wayne Baker. In the bottom of the 19th, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Knickerbockers.

"We were the better team today. Maybe that won't be the case next game, but we'll enjoy it for now," Baker told the New York Chronicle.
