Black Kings Pull Off Thrilling 3-2 Win in Extras
New York starter Charles Griggs pitched well against the Pittsburgh Rollers at The Race Track. The left-hander led his team to a win, 3-2, in 11 innings. The win elevated the Black Kings to 30-11.

New York used the timely hitting of Ted Ellis to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Black Kings on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 6 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We squandered some opportunities," said Pittsburgh manager Johnny Grant.
