Royal Giants Top Gothams in Extras, 7-6
The Brooklyn Royal Giants defeated the New York Gothams, 7-6, in part because of center fielder John Briggs. Briggs hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Royal Giants. Brooklyn pitcher Sandy Koufax earned the win, hiking his record to 6-3. Carson Smith suffered the loss. Brooklyn now has a record of 94-59 with the win.

Brooklyn needed the clutch hitting of Duke Snider to seal the deal. The designated hitter swatted a solo home run in the top of the tenth inning to put the Royal Giants on top, 7-6. For the game, Snider had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"There's no quit in this team," said Royal Giants manager Daniel Makonnen.
