Gothams Capture Close Win
Led by Benny Kauff, the New York Gothams defeated the Indianapolis ABCs, 6-5. Kauff was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Gothams. The win belonged to Mike Norris in relief. His record improves to 3-4. Jack Billingham took the loss for Indianapolis. The ABCs, now 49-47, have lost 4 straight.

The decisive blow was delivered by Buster Posey in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a solo home run off 24-year old right-handed pitcher Jack Billingham to win the game for New York. The home crowd went nuts.

Kauff told a New York Today reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
