Imperials Win at Buckeye Local, 7-6
Buckeye Local first baseman Jim Unknown had a good game, even if his team did not. The Panthers dropped a 7-6 decision to Chuluota at Cincinnati Grounds. Unknown went 2 for 2 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. With the win over Buckeye Local, the Imperials improved to 52-50.

Hisamichi Matsumoto found himself in a pressure situation in the top of the ninth. Facing Buckeye Local hurler Jim Unknown, the 20-year-old pinch hitter drew a walk, driving in 1 run. His 5th walk of the season put the Imperials on top, 7-6.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Matsumoto told the Chuluota Daily.
