New York Mettle Tested in Tight 6-5 Win
New York beat Detroit at Columbia Field, eking out a 6-5 win in 11 innings. The win was due in large part to third baseman David King. He went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The Barons move to 33-45 with the win, while the Sturgeons drop to 53-29.

The Barons got a clutch hit from right fielder Jack McKinley. In the bottom of the 11th, he hit a run-scoring single to center, to win the game for the Barons.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," McKinley said in his postgame press conference.
