Stevens Stars for Empire in 6-2 Win
With first baseman Matt Stevens leading the charge, the New York Empire defeated the Arlington Arsenal, 6-2, at Ballpark of Arlington. Stevens slugged 2 home runs, while adding 3 RBI and scoring twice. Danny Ortiz earned the save, his 1st, for the Empire. New York goes to 55-30. The win puts them 12 games up in their division.

The Arsenal had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Empire going into the top of the fifth inning. That changed quickly when the 20-year old second baseman Nick Pluff came to the plate. Pluff hit a 2-run home run on a 1-1 sinker from Arlington hurler Jeff Huck. It was Pluff's 1st home run of the year.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said New York skipper David Fields.
