Cleveland Beaten, 7-4, by Brooklyn
The Cleveland Bobcats got a sterling performance from right fielder Alan Romano, but the Brooklyn Bluebirds still prevailed, 7-4. Romano slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Brooklyn has now won 3 in a row.

Brooklyn used the timely hitting of Ron Eubanks to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Bluebirds on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Solid performance from our side," said Bluebirds manager John Meeker.
