Packers Win Pitchers' Duel, 2-0, Versus Bobcats
The Cincinnati Packers downed the Cleveland Bobcats, 2-0, at Lakefront Stadium. Starring for Cincinnati was pitcher Erv Koenig. Koenig got the win, improving to 4-12. He gave up 7 hits and walked 2 over 8 innings. He allowed no runs. With the win, the Packers are 25-60.

The outcome was still in doubt in the bottom of the ninth inning. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Cleveland trailing 2-0, Larry Burns needed to get a big out. On a 1-2 slider, Ray Baum, who finished 3rd in the NBL in RBI with 96 in 1963, struck out, putting the kibosh on a potential rally.
