Cleveland Nets 7-6 Win Versus Knickerbockers
Alan Romano was a major factor in the 7-6 Cleveland win over New York. The Bobcats right fielder went 3 for 3 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The win was credited to Joe Clabaugh in relief. His record improves to 7-1. Wayne Houston took the loss. Cleveland is now 51-28, 2 games up in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

Bill Harper was the walk-off hero for Cleveland. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bobcats third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It was our day today," Romano told the Cleveland Today. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
