Still Kicking: Brooklyn Cut Chicago Series Lead to 3-1 With Late Win
Already down in the League Championship Series, the Brooklyn Bluebirds put on their best show, beating the Chicago Traders by a final score of 5-4 today. Bill LaFleur was special. He went 3 for 4 with 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI. Brooklyn now trails Chicago 3-1 in the best-of-7 affair.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the tenth. With two out, LaFleur hit a changeup from Dave Keen for a run-scoring single. The Bluebirds, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Things broke our way today and that's great," Bluebirds manager Steve Meyers said. "It's important, though, to stay focused and not pat yourself on the back too much. We aren't done yet."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Flatbush Park. The scheduled starters for the game are Ken Amison for Chicago and Gene Lance for Brooklyn.
