Empires Win 5-4 Nail-Biter Versus Terriers
The New York Empires topped the Boston Terriers, 5-4, in 10 innings at Queens Field. The game was highlighted by the performance of New York pitcher Jon Pierce. The Empires sport a record of 38-20.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the tenth for New York. That's when Roger Hickey hit a 3-run home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Layton Taylor to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"This joint was rocking," said Hickey.
