Knickerbockers Top Bobcats, 16-13
The New York Knickerbockers knocked off the Cleveland Bobcats, 16-13, at Lakefront Stadium. It took 11 innings. Bob Underwood was a prime reason New York won. The left fielder went 2-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 3 runs and drove in 5. The win for the Knickerbockers raised their record to 46-34.

New York used the timely hitting of Ron Palmer to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Knickerbockers on top, 12-11. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"They're fun to watch and the hitters get to pad their stats but nobody's really happy about a game like that," New York manager Joaquin Placeholder. "I promise you I'm not happy."
