Bluebirds Stun Blockbusters, 11-7
In the 11-7 Brooklyn win over Los Angeles, the impact of Jackie Cooper was substantial. Cooper, who is on pace for 222 hits this season, went 3 for 5 with 2 doubles, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. The winner was Bob Hill in relief. His record improves to 6-2. Larry Shears took the loss. The Bluebirds now have a record of 44-48 with the win over Los Angeles.

The game was at a stalemate until pinch hitter Mike Bennett came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Los Angeles pitcher Larry Shears, he hit a first pitch fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Brooklyn on top, 8-7.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Bluebirds," said Bennett.
