The Titans couldn't pull of the win yesterday in front of their home crowd of 12,863. Theo Murrell pitched all nine innings, but gave up ten hits and four earned runs.

The big man on offense for New York was right-fielder Freeman Willis, who went 4-for-4 with a run scored.

Floyd Bennett, the starter for the Gothams, hurled a complete game giving up eight hits and three walks. He struck out four and gave up two earned runs over 138 pitches.

The series is now tied at 2-2. Today is an off-day, and tomorrow the teams will head to the Bronx Oval Grounds to play games five and six.
