Knickerbockers Come Back Late to Top Bobcats, 5-3
The New York Knickerbockers picked up a win at Knickerbocker Stadium, knocking off the Cleveland Bobcats, 5-3. Starting pitcher Jack Forbes was a big reason why. Bruce Owen came out of the bullpen to earn the win. The right-hander allowed no runs on 2 hits in 1.2 innings. His record now stands at 3-0. The second-place Knickerbockers have won 4 in a row.

New York took a 5-3 lead on Steve Wright's 15th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Wright hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Cleveland pitcher Myron Baird visibly frustrated.

"Jack was dictating to their hitters," said New York manager Timothy Widholm.
