Late Rally by Bluebirds Locks Up 6-2 Win
Brooklyn Bluebirds starter Antonio Valerio pitched well against the New York Knickerbockers at Flatbush Park, leading his team to a win, 6-2. Brooklyn pitcher Bob Hill earned the win, hiking his record to 2-0. Wayne Houston suffered the loss. The win puts Brooklyn at 5-4.

Brooklyn took a 4-2 lead on Ron Freeman's 2nd double of the season. The 2-run double, which Freeman hit in the bottom of the eighth, left New York pitcher Wayne Houston visibly frustrated.

"We did a lot of really good things and it was a good win," said Bluebirds manager John Meeker.
