Benson, Phalanx March to 6-0 Victory
The Philadelphia Phalanx beat the Oakland Roses, 6-0, at Fan's Ballyard. Will Benson, in particular, was impressive. He was 4 for 5 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Kevin Ginkel picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 1-5. Eric Lauer suffered the loss. By defeating Oakland, the last-place Phalanx improved to 57-80.

It could have been a different outcome for Philadelphia, had it not been for Romy Gonzalez, the 29-year old third baseman . Gonzalez contributed a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put Philadelphia up, 2-0.

Said losing manager Herb Pilgrim: "Obviously, we wished for a better outcome."
