Bobcats Victorious at Cincinnati, 12-2
Cleveland third baseman Billy Nielsen played a vital role in his team's 12-2 conquest of Cincinnati. He was 3-5 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once for Cleveland. Roger Scherf was the winner. Over 8.1 innings, he yielded 2 runs on 11 hits, with 3 walks and 2 strikeouts. Cincinnati is 5-6 after the defeat.

Cleveland used the hitting of Bill Harper to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Bobcats on top, 2-0. For the game, Harper had 1 home run and 1 single in 6 at-bats.

"They beat us like the proverbial rented mule," said losing manager Martin Abresch.
