Gothams Win Nail-Biter
Walt Messer made an impact in the 7-6 New York win over St. Louis. Messer, who finished 4th in the FA in OPS with .887 in 1941, went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The win puts New York at 5-3.

New York used the timely hitting of Cecil LaBonte to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Gothams on top, 7-6. It was his only hit in 6 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll enjoy this win," said LaBonte. "But there's more we hope to accomplish."
