Packers Need Extra Innings to Top Quakers, 4-2
The Cincinnati Packers faced a tough opponent in Philadelphia pitcher Mel Hartman, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Quakers Stadium by a final score of 4-2. Hartman went 7 innings and allowed 1 run. Steve Meckley earned the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The left-hander allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. His record is now 2-2. The Packers now have a record of 28-64.

Cincinnati used the timely hitting of John Hembree to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Packers on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Hembree.
