| New York Wins at Home to Narrow Series Deficit to 3-2 | The New York Black Yankees have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading Boston Americans, winning 6-2 at Yankee Stadium I today. Black Yankees right-hander Brad Penny was named player of the game after he threw 8 innings of 7-hit ball. The win cuts the deficit facing the Black Yankees to 3-2 in the best-of-7 Round 2.
Fred Lynn, who is the 2nd-best prospect in the Black Yankees organization, chipped in for New York with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the center fielder had 2 hits in 5 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 2 runs batted in.
"I liked his command," said New York manager John McInerney. "Brad was throwing strikes."
The next game is scheduled for Monday, October 16th, 1961 in Boston. Slated to start are Bruce Hurst for New York and Cowboy Jones for Boston.
