The New York Gothams picked up a win at Polo Grounds, knocking off the Homestead Grays, 4-2. On the mound for New York was right-hander Don Sutton. He played a key role in the triumph. In 6 innings, Sutton surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 2. He allowed 2 runs. New York is 67-76 and Homestead, with the loss, 69-73.

The Gothams got a big at-bat from first baseman Jim Ray Hart. For the game, Hart went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the sixth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 10th home run of the season gave New York a 3-2 lead.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said New York manager Daniel Makonnen. "It's usually not just one thing."
