Bobcats Roll to 8-2 Win Over Eagles
Cleveland Bobcats starter Rick Tomlinson was in a rhythm all game. He led his team to a win over the Washington Eagles, 8-2. Tomlinson went the distance for Cleveland. He gave up 2 runs on 7 hits. The 5th-place Bobcats have won 4 in a row.

Cleveland used a clutch at-bat from Mike Sunseri to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a grand slam home run in the top of the first inning to put the Bobcats ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"You look inside of the game, it's just quality approach after quality approach," said Bobcats manager Daniel Mays.
