Brooklyn and Cleveland got after it at Lakefront Stadium.

The Brooklyn Bluebirds picked up a win at Lakefront Stadium, downing the Cleveland Bobcats, 5-2. On the mound for Brooklyn was right-hander Larry Mitchell, who played a pivotal role in the win. Dave Norman earned the save for Brooklyn, his 16th.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Miguel Saenz? The Brooklyn third baseman had a bases-clearing double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Bluebirds on top, 4-2. For the game, Saenz had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"I thought we played a nice game," Mitchell told the Brooklyn Citizen. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."

The defeat makes Cleveland 43-45.
