Blues Prevail, 6-4, Over Denver
|
The New York City Blues picked up a win at Cutter's Cove, knocking off the Denver Cutthroats, 6-4. Starting pitcher Keith Higdon played a key role in the triumph. In 7 innings, Higdon surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 8 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs. Steve Estrada earned the save for New York City, his 4th.
New York City used a clutch at-bat from Dan Stricklin to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Blues ahead, 5-2. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.
"It was our day today," Stricklin told the New York City Daily News. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
With the win, New York City raised its record to 33-23.
