Hawley Handcuffs Americans, Black Yankees Seize 1-0 Advantage in League Championship Series
The New York Black Yankees started the League Championship Series in style today, winning on the road against the Boston Americans at Fenway Park II by a score of 4-2 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Black Yankees right-hander Pink Hawley was named player of the game after he threw 8 innings of 6-hit ball.

Bill Pettus helped his team jump on top from the get-go. His first time up in the top of the first, he cranked a 2-run home run to give New York a 2-0 lead.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Pettus told reporters after the game.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow. The scheduled starters for the game are Barry Zito for New York and Webster McDonald for Boston.
