Empire Double Up Dragon Warriors, 6-3
New York picked up a win at The Nest, bumping off the Hanoi Dragon Warriors, 6-3. Pitcher Melvin Verdin was a major reason the Empire emerged victorious. Verdin, now 9-12, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 6 hits, while striking out 10, walking 0, and allowing 3 runs. Alberto Perea picked up the save for New York, his 28th of the year.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Jonathan McMillan? The New York first baseman had a 2-run single in the top of the fifth inning to put the Empire on top, 3-0. For the game, McMillan had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We'll savor this win," Verdin told the New York Times, "then get ready for the next game."

At 54-72, the Empire find themselves in third place in the Alliance League Boneheads Division.
