Joe Ingersoll said "it felt like taking batting practice" at Genessee Grounds, and it showed in the box score. The Buffalo catcher had a fantastic 5-for-5 day against the Rochester Millers, leading his club to victory, 15-4.

"I was seeing the ball very well and it was going just about anywhere I wanted," Ingersoll said later."

Joe Ingersoll hit a three-run triple in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, walked in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th.
