Seagulls Hammered by Downs, Drop Game 5 to Bobcats
The Cleveland Bobcats have closed some of the gap between themselves and the series-leading San Francisco Seagulls, winning 7-6 at Lakefront Stadium today. Bobcats center fielder Jerry Downs went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. The win cuts the deficit facing the Bobcats to 3-2 in the best-of-7 World Series.

Had Grammercy Locke not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 1st, Locke hit a 2-run home run. That made the score 7-6, in favor of the Bobcats.

"We're happy," Downs told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."

The next game is scheduled for Thursday, October 18th, 1956 at Mission Field. The scheduled starters for the game are Don Young for the Cleveland Bobcats and Joe Shannon for the the San Francisco Seagulls.
