Pivotal Game 5 Goes to Host Bluebirds, 6-3
The Brooklyn Bluebirds moved to within one game of the Round 2 today, downing the visiting Detroit Wolverines at Avenue U Park by a score of 6-3. Bluebirds right-hander Hawk Ratliff was named player of the game after a strong outing in which he threw 9 innings of 8-hit ball. The win gives the Bluebirds a 3-2 advantage in the best-of-7 World's Championship Series.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the eighth, with Brooklyn trailing 3-2, Coot Agnew was at the plate when Brooklyn scored 2 on an error. The miscue enabled the Bluebirds to go in front, 4-3.

Ratliff said the win provided a "big morale boost" for the team. "There's a good feeling in the clubhouse right now."

The next game is scheduled for Monday at State Fair Grounds in Detroit. The scheduled starters for the game are Anton Maguire for Brooklyn and Luther Root for Detroit.
