New York starter Emmett Thornton kept the Chicago hitters in check, while his team cruised to a win, 9-1. Chicago now owns a losing streak of 5 games.

George Love, who led the CA in extra base hits with 76 in 1969, chipped in a 3-run home run for New York in the bottom of the sixth. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"I just kind of blacked out and executed my pitches," said Thornton.
