Bobcats Defeated by Knickerbockers, 8-3
Knickerbockers right fielder Bob Underwood put his stamp on his team's 8-3 win over the Cleveland Bobcats. Underwood went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times for New York in the contest. Ron Haney, who went 7 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 3 hits, while walking 5 and striking out 2. His record now stands at 3-4. Wayne Houston got the save, his 10th in 13 chances.

Had Bob Marston not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Marston hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Knickerbockers.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Marston told the New York Observer. "It's as simple as that."

New York is now 55-58, while Cleveland is 61-52.
