Bobcats Run Win Streak to 8
Bill Harper was a major factor in the 4-1 Cleveland win over Chicago. The Bobcats left fielder went 1-3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. John Stoddard was the winner. He's now 1-0. The loser was 1969 Rookie of the Year Award winner Larry Cox. Paul Darch got the save, his 1st in 3 chances.

Early in the game, Harper had a 2-run home run for Cleveland. It was his 13th home run of the season and put the Bobcats on top, 2-0.

"Winning the game is always the first objective," Harper said.

Cleveland has now won 8 straight.
