New York Makes Chicago 8-7 Losers
In the 8-7 New York win over Chicago, the impact of Joe Jones was substantial. Jones, who won the Kellogg Award in 1971, went 2-4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. The win elevated the Gothams to 70-54.

New York used a timely hit from Sam Hamilton to get the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Gothams ahead, 8-7. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a difference-maker.

"Like I've always said, I'm the straw that stirs the drink," Hamilton said (again).
