Bluebirds Pull Out Late-Game Win, 4-3
The Brooklyn Bluebirds scored a tight, 4-3 win versus the Pittsburgh Industrials at Allegheny Field. Brooklyn pitcher Damon Rutherford held his own in the contest. Rutherford, who is a five-time All-Star, went the distance for Brooklyn. He gave up 3 runs on 11 hits. At 38-43, the Bluebirds are currently 6th in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

Brooklyn used a timely hit from Greg Landrum to get the win. The left fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bluebirds ahead, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it made an impact.

Landrum called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
