The New York Imperials downed the Chicago Cougars, 10-6, at Dyckman Stadium. Mike Counts led the way, going 3-for-3 for New York. New York goes to 16-10.

George Love, who led the CA in home runs with 49 in 1970, chipped in a grand slam home run for New York in the bottom of the second. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 2 runs scored, and 4 runs batted in.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Counts said. "We did a good job of that today."
