Gothams Get Dramatic 6-4 Win
New York took on Chicago in front of a lively crowd.

New York picked up a win at Whitney Park, bumping off the Chicago Chiefs, 6-4. Pitcher Ed Bowman was a major reason the Gothams emerged victorious. New York, at 48-44, holds down 4th place in the Federal Association.

New York used the timely hitting of George Bundy to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Gothams on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"This isn't football or hockey where you can overwhelm your opponents," Bundy told the New York Times. "Everyone gets 27 outs and we happened to make the most of them."
