Starting pitcher Jon Pierce took care of business, helping the New York Empires stifle the Detroit Wolverines, 11-2. New York has run its win streak to 4 straight.

In the bottom of the 2nd, New York took the lead on a 2-run single by Javier Abarca. At the time, the Empires were trailing 1-0, but Abarca's hit with two outs against Detroit pitcher Larry Black put them in front, 2-1.

"Not the preferred outcome," Detroit manager Alex Wobbema said, when asked afterward about the game.
