| Gothams Take Tight Tango, 1-0 | The New York Gothams got great pitching from 11-year veteran Harry Hayward, allowing them to bump off the Houston Comets, 1-0. In 8 innings, Hayward surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 5. He allowed no runs. The Gothams, at 40-51, inhabit 4th place in the Federal Association East.
Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for George James? The 34-year old left fielder James stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put New York up, 1-0. For the game, he was 4 for 5, including 1 double and 3 singles.
"Felt great, felt really good," said Hayward.
