| Gothams Top Detroit, 3-2 | In a low-scoring affair between the New York Gothams and the Detroit Dynamos, pitcher Buddy Long was the difference between victory and defeat. The New York left-hander earned accolades in the 3-2 Gothams win. New York now has a record of 82-65 with the win.
George Cleaves, who finished 4th in the FA in slugging percentage with .480 in 1942, chipped in for New York with a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth. For the game, the catcher had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 RBI.
"If you want to be considered a good team, these are the kind of games you have to win," said New York manager Bud Jameson.
