Victors Again, New York Win Streak at 8
Another day, another victory for the red-hot New York Imperials.

The New York Imperials picked up a win at Dyckman Stadium, downing the Cleveland Foresters, 5-3. On the mound for New York was right-hander Emmett Thornton, who played a pivotal role in the win. New York is in second place in the Continental Association East with a record of 45-34.

With New York leading 2-1 in the bottom of the fourth, Thornton hit a run-scoring single off Cleveland hurler Bill Harris. It was the 7th hit of the season for Thornton and put his team ahead, 3-1.

"Swagger," said Thornton. "That's what this team has right now."
