Flyers Upend Dust Devils, 8-4
The Newark Flyers knocked off the Kansas City Dust Devils, 8-4, in Northern A action at Kansas City Grounds. Newark pitcher and Antriol, Netherlands Antilles, native Keith Jong had an outstanding performance. Jong, now 5-6, was the winner. In 5.1 innings, he gave up 3 hits, while striking out 2, walking 4, and allowing 1 run. The Flyers, at 90-50, have now won 5 straight.

Newark second baseman Fernando Espindola contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fifth. With two down, he hit a fastball to center field for a 2-run single. It was his 96th hit of the season and put the Flyers ahead, 4-1.

"It was our day today," Espindola told the Newark News. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
