Knickerbockers Rough Up Bluebirds, Take 15-3 Win
New York took on Brooklyn in front of a lively crowd.

The New York Knickerbockers knocked off the Brooklyn Bluebirds, 15-3, at Flatbush Park. Rick Hotz was a big reason New York won. The catcher hit 3 home runs, while adding 9 RBI and scoring three times. Bruce Owen got the win, improving to 8-2. He worked 8.1 innings, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2.

With New York leading 9-3 in the top of the seventh, Hotz came up to bat against Brooklyn pitcher Tom Keller. Hotz hit a fastball to right-center for a grand slam home run. His 6th home run of the season put the Knickerbockers on top, 13-3.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Hotz.

The Knickerbockers improved their record to 34-25 with the win over Brooklyn.
