Gothams Solve Dynamos, 5-4
The New York Gothams topped the Detroit Dynamos, 5-4, at Thompson Field. New York right fielder Rex Pilcher was a spark plug for the offense. He was 2 for 2 with a double and 2 walks. Red Blanchard earned the win for New York. He lasted 7.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 3. With the win, he raised his record to 16-5. At 62-71, the Gothams are currently 7th in the Federal Association.

Frank Arnold, who is tied for 4th in the FA in doubles with 34, aided the New York cause with a run-scoring walk in the top of the fifth. For the game, the third baseman drew 1 walk in 4 plate appearances.

Pilcher told a New York News reporter that the win made him feel "upbeat about our team."
