Wolves Handed 3-2 Loss by New York
The New York Imperials eked out a 3-2 win versus the Toronto Wolves at Dyckman Stadium. Nobody did more than pitcher Emmett Thornton. He was terrific. The Imperials now have a record of 78-76.

New York catcher Bob Scott contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the third. With two down, he hit a changeup to left field for a run-scoring single. It was his 28th hit of the season and put the Imperials ahead, 3-1.

"Emmett went out and got the job done," said Imperials manager Jim Abernathy.
