Castro Whacks 2 Home Runs in 5-2 Win
The 5-2 New York win over Toronto was due largely to Al Castro. The Empires left fielder was 3-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Toronto is 2-4 after the defeat.

The Empires got a big at-bat from shortstop Dave Matuzak. For the game, Matuzak went 1 for 4 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave New York a 3-2 lead.

Said losing manager Jim Burns: "Obviously, we wished for a better outcome."
