Win Goes to Gothams in Tight Contest
Chicago center fielder Dave Price had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Price went 4 for 5 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2, even as New York beat the Chiefs, 6-5, in 10 innings. Picking up his 2nd save was 26-year old left-handed pitcher Dan Charlton. New York, at 63-76, sits in 5th place in the Federal Association.

New York used the timely hitting of Tom Brizzolara to seize the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Gothams on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We ground out the win," said Brizzolara. "That's all that matters."
