Philadelphia Stopped, 4-2, by Cleveland
Myron Baird, who finished 4th in the NBL in strikeouts with 160 last year, was locked in. The right-hander led the Cleveland Bobcats to a 4-2 win against the Philadelphia Quakers at Quakers Stadium. Baird yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 7 hits, walked 0, and struck out 4. His record improves to 9-6. Philadelphia is still trying to get off the schneid, having lost 6 in a row.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Keith MacPherson? The 28-year old third baseman MacPherson stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the seventh inning to put Cleveland up, 3-1. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

After the game, Cleveland manager Daniel Mays applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.
