Bluebirds Lose to Bobcats in Walk-Off
Brooklyn left fielder Kermit McDaniel had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 6-4, to Cleveland in 11 innings. McDaniel went 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Cleveland reliever Mike Hoskins was the winner. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Frank D'Amico. Cleveland has a record of 36-51, placing them 6th in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

Cleveland got a knockout punch from Danny Fierro. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"This wasn't a good win," said Fierro. "It was a great win."
