Grays Score Late, Clip Gothams, 5-4
New York wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Christy Mathewson, falling to the Homestead Grays, 5-4. Mathewson threw 7.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. Rick Ownbey was the winner in relief. His record is now 3-1. The losing pitcher was Robb Nen. Josh Lindblom finished to wrap up his 13th save.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Josh Gibson? The 21-year old catcher Gibson stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put Homestead up, 3-2. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"I like the vibe in the clubhouse after a win," said Gibson. "It sure beats the alternative."

The win puts Homestead at 30-22 this season.
