HIGHLANDERS MAKE IT TEN STRAIGHT WITH 8–2 TRIUMPH OVER WHITE SOX
Wilson’s Four-Hit Day and Hughes’ Steady Arm Keep New York Rolling

New York—Before a lively crowd at Hilltop Park this afternoon, the New York Highlanders extended their remarkable May form, defeating the Chicago White Sox 8–2 and securing their tenth consecutive victory. The win lifts New York to a robust 24–14 on the season and solidifies their standing as one of the league’s hottest clubs.

Right fielder Owen Wilson played a commanding role in the triumph, turning in a brilliant 4-for-5 performance at the plate. He crossed home twice and drove in two runs, continuing the strong hitting that has marked his recent play and raising his season average to .244.

On the mound, Jay Hughes delivered exactly what the Highlanders needed: a steady, complete-game effort, surrendering just six hits and two runs while keeping Chicago’s bats largely quiet throughout the afternoon.

After the contest, Wilson spoke modestly about his standout day.

“The whole club is seeing the ball well right now,” Wilson said. “I’m just glad I could add my share to keep this run going.”

Manager Alfonso Perez, pleased but measured, credited the team’s consistency above all else.

“Ten straight doesn’t happen by accident,” Perez noted. “Hughes gave us a fine game, and the boys backed him with smart hitting. We’ll enjoy this one, then get ready for the next.”

With May drawing toward its close, the Highlanders appear determined to show that their early-season surge is no passing fancy.
