On a partly cloudy afternoon in front of 12,223 seated fans and many more who watched from rooftops or lined the outfield wall, the New York Gothams tied the 4th Presidents Cup Series one game to one yesterday with a 5-2 win.

The two hour and thirty-nine minute affair was kicked off when Brooklyn scored in the third without getting a hit. An error, two walks, and then another error scored pitcher Mathew Edgar. But New York answered back in the bottom of the inning, when Whitey Upchurch led off with a single and then later scored on an error. They scored another in the inning, and then scored a third time in the 4th, making it 3-1.

In the bottom of the 6th, Curtis Caton drove in a run on a triple into the right-center field gap, then scored himself on a groundout. Brooklyn answered back with one in the 7th, but that was it, and the game ended 5-2.

Our player of the game award goes to Whitey Upchurch, the starting pitcher for the Gothams. He went all nine innings, giving up just five hits, no earned runs, and struck out seven.

The series is tied at 1-1, and the team will have off today and then pick it up again tomorrow at Washington Park in Brooklyn.
