Gothams Tuck Away 9-5 Win Over Philadelphia
The New York Gothams withstood a fine game by Philadelphia second baseman Lew Davison at Gotham Stadium, to upend the Keystones, 9-5. Davison was 3-4 with 2 home runs and a walk. The winning pitcher was 27-year old right-handed pitcher Ray Hooley. He tossed 112 pitches over 6.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 11 hits. The Keystones drop to 11-13 and continue their inconsistent start to the 1975 season.

The Keystones had been locked in a 3-3 tie with the Gothams going into the bottom of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 23-year old center fielder Bill Arndt came to the plate. Arndt hit a bases-clearing double on a 3-1 fastball from Philadelphia hurler Joe Downing. It was Arndt's 11th double of the year.

"Enjoyed this one," Arndt told the New York News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
