Royal Giants Earn Late Win
The Brooklyn Royal Giants racked up a win at Forbes Field, bumping off the Homestead Grays, 4-3. Orel Hershiser, who started for Brooklyn, pitched effectively for his team. In 7.2 innings, Hershiser surrendered 4 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. He allowed 2 runs. Eric Gagne notched his 20th save in 24 chances.

Brooklyn used the timely hitting of Ray Dandridge to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Royal Giants on top, 4-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

Dandridge attributed the win to his team's "focus and intensity."

The Royal Giants lead the National League Effa Manley Division by 3½ games.
