New York Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The New York Excelsiors beat the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 4-3. New York starter Thomas Goss pitched a gem. Goss yielded 3 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 6. His record improves to 4-2. The win gives New York a record of 11-6.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Vulcans allowed the Excelsiors to score the winning run.

"I'm happy we won," said Goss. "That's first and foremost. My goal is for the team to win the day I pitch, however it's done."
