| Empire Victorious at Chicago, 2-0 | Josue Ortiz, who is tied for 5th in the IL in innings pitched with 105.1, imposed his will on the Hawks from the get-go. Relying mainly on his cutter, the right-hander spearheaded the 2-0 New York triumph. The winner was Ortiz. He threw 7.0 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Art Davis. New York, at 48-27, is 10 games up in the Independent Central.
Dave Nelson, who is tied for 8th in the IL with a .362 on-base percentage, had a direct impact on the outcome. Nelson contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the second inning to put New York up, 2-0.
"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said New York skipper David Fields. | | | | |
