With Late Score, Packers Beat Bluebirds
The Cincinnati Packers downed the Brooklyn Bluebirds, 7-6, in 10 innings at Roman Arena. The Packers were led by Glen Bennett. Bennett was 4-6 with a triple and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. With the win, Cincinnati upped its record to 38-37.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the tenth. With two out, Bennett hit a curveball from Dave Norman for a run-scoring single. The Packers, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"You can't hate how you win if you win," said Cincinnati skipper Martin Abresch.
