New York first baseman Francisco Chavez made his presence felt in the 6-1 Knickerbockers triumph over the Cincinnati Packers. Chavez was 2 for 2 with a home run and 3 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2. Dave Torre was the winner. He's now 6-2. The loser was 26-year old left-handed pitcher Erv Koenig. Cincinnati has now lost 4 in a row.

With New York leading 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Chavez hit a run-scoring single off Cincinnati hurler Erv Koenig. It was the 55th hit of the season for Chavez and put his team ahead, 3-1.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Chavez.
