Foresters Suffer 6-1 Home Defeat
The New York Imperials got a marvelous performance from pitcher Don Bradner. The right-hander kept the Cleveland offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 6-1 New York victory at Forester Stadium. The winner was Bradner. He threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball. The loser was Juan Solorzano. The Imperials saw their win-loss record go to 73-69. At the same time, the Foresters fell to 72-69.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Woody Richardson? The New York first baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Imperials on top, 2-1. For the game, Richardson had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Richardson. "It sure beats the alternative."
