Blues Rebuff Lions, 7-6
The New York City Blues beat the St. Louis Lions, 7-6, at Blues Field. New York City left fielder Oscar Alvarenga collected 1 single and 2 doubles, while driving in 2 runs. At 21-29, New York City is in last place in the East Division.

Had Vitaliano Brancati not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, Brancati hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Blues.

"I know we have our doubters," said St. Louis manager Leo Cruz. "But I still have high hopes for this team."
