New York set the tone of the game in the first inning when they came up with 2 runs on 2 hits. That early scoring was all that Titcomb(4-1) needed. New York finished with 7 hits in the victory. Sam Moffet(0-2) was the loser. He pitched 9 innings and surrendered 7 hits and 5 walks. 'Titcomb gave us exactly what we needed today.' Jim Mutrie said. 'When he threw the fastball he threw it for strikes. They were really fooled by his change. Most of the time he had them chasing it.'
