The New York Empires racked up a win at LaSalle Stadium, bumping off the Montreal Habitants, 5-3, in 10 innings. Larry Stanford, who started for New York, pitched effectively for his team. New York currently is in second place in the American Baseball League Eastern Division at 25-18.

New York used the timely hitting of Mark Goen to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Empires on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"It was terrific getting this win," Goen said. "We put in a lot of work to do it."
