8-5 Win Takes Bobcats to 56-53
The Cleveland Bobcats grabbed a win, 8-5, over the Denver Burros at Gates Crescent Park. Cleveland left fielder Phil Chirico was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs and a double. The win boosted Cleveland to 56-53.

Cleveland used a clutch at-bat from Steve Garcia to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Bobcats ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Garcia.
