Rick Hotz was a vital contributor to the 14-3 New York victory over Pittsburgh. The Knickerbockers catcher was 3-3 with a double, 2 singles, and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The setback makes Pittsburgh 31-24.

New York needed the clutch hitting of Bob Marston to seal the deal. The center fielder swatted a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Knickerbockers on top, 5-2. For the game, Marston had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We took home the win," said Hotz. "What's not to like?"
