Gothams Pull Out Late-Game Win, 1-0
The Gothams faced a stiff challenge from Kansas City pitcher Smokey Joe Wood, but persevered to claim a win at Muehlebach Field 1923-1941. The final score was 1-0. Wood went 5 innings and allowed no runs. New York reliever Kent Tekulve snagged the win, upping his record to 1-0. Lee Smith shouldered the loss. Picking up the save was fan favorite Brian Wilson.

New York used the timely hitting of Jimmy Sheckard to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Gothams on top, 1-0. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

Sheckard called the win "a pick-me-upper."

After losing, Kansas City is 7-5.
