Jeff Madsen made an impact in the 8-4 New York win over Denver. Madsen, who finished 4th in the NBL in doubles with 28 in 1965, was 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. With the win, New York pushed its record to 36-25.

Bob Marston, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1966 draft, took Denver hurler John Suozzo deep in the bottom of the first. His 2-run home run put the Knickerbockers on top, 3-1. In all, Marston had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"See ball, hit ball. When I think too much, that's when I get in trouble," Madsen told the New York Today.
