Gothams Drop Black Barons, 3-2
The New York Gothams picked up a win at Polo Grounds, taking down the Birmingham Black Barons, 3-2. Starting pitcher Don Sutton was a big reason why. Sutton yielded 2 runs over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 4 hits, walked 1, and struck out 3. His record improves to 2-1. The loss makes Birmingham 4-10.

The Gothams got a big at-bat from third baseman Michael Higgins. For the game, Higgins went 1 for 2 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fifth, with runners on 1st and 2nd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave New York a 3-2 lead.

"If I do my job, we've usually got a good chance to win the game," said Sutton.
