The New York Knickerbockers powered past the Cleveland Bobcats, 12-10, at Knickerbocker Stadium. Francisco Chavez provided some of the pop. He was 1-2 with a home run and 3 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Bobcats, now 57-60, have lost 4 straight.

Fresno, California-born Dave DeHaan came through in the clutch. In the bottom of the eighth, with the bases loaded and the Knickerbockers trailing 10-9, he hit a 2-run single to center to put New York on top.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said New York manager Timothy Widholm.
