Almost There: San Francisco On Cusp of WS Triumph After 8-2 Win
The San Francisco Seagulls moved to within one game of the Round 3 today, downing the Cleveland Bobcats on the road at Lakefront Stadium by a score of 8-2. Seagulls right-hander Marvin Cooper had a strong outing. He threw 9 innings of 7-hit ball. The win gives the Seagulls a 3-1 advantage in the best-of-7 World Series.

Rick Griggers, the 24-year old left fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Griggers contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put San Francisco up, 2-1.

Cooper told a San Francisco Daily News reporter that he was "gratified" with the win.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow. Slated to start are Paul Schuler for the San Francisco Seagulls and Skip Shannon for the the Cleveland Bobcats.
