Quakers Defeat Bobcats in 10
Philadelphia and Cleveland played a hard-fought contest.

The Philadelphia Quakers faced a tenacious opponent in Cleveland pitcher Rick Tomlinson, but still scratched out a win at Lakefront Stadium by a final score of 3-2 in 10 innings. Tomlinson went 7.1 innings and allowed 1 run. The Quakers lead the National Baseball League Eastern Division by a game.

Vern Friend, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1970 draft, had a direct impact on the outcome. Friend contributed a run-scoring walk in the top of the tenth inning to put Philadelphia up, 3-2.

"I have a job to do," Friend said, "and I did it."
