Brooklyn Bluebirds pitcher Damon Rutherford was in fine form, leading his team past the Cincinnati Packers, 11-1. Rutherford yielded 1 run over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5. His record improves to 11-7. Brooklyn has now won 4 straight.

Brooklyn first baseman Mike Bennett contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the fourth. With two down, he hit a fastball to left field for a run-scoring single. It was his 63rd hit of the season and put the Bluebirds ahead, 1-0.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Bennett. "You've got to get results."
