Freeman Delivers Walk-Off Win for Bluebirds
The Brooklyn Bluebirds overcame a pretty good performance by New York second baseman Steve Wright, beating the Knickerbockers, 7-6, at Flatbush Park. Wright was 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win was credited to Bob Hill in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Wayne Houston took the loss. The loss makes New York 3-5.

Ron Freeman was the walk-off hero for Brooklyn. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bluebirds shortstop hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We came in and got the job done. That's what it's all about in this business," said Freeman.
