Starting pitcher Antonio Valerio did his part in helping the Brooklyn Bluebirds thwart the Cleveland Bobcats, 2-1. Valerio picked up the win for Brooklyn, going 6.1 innings. He gave up 1 run on 3 hits. He now sports a record of 11-8. Brooklyn is now 60-58, while Cleveland is 62-55.

Brooklyn used a timely hit from Brian Turley to get the win. The center fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Bluebirds ahead, 2-1. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Really good pitchers have that ability to raise their game when they need to," said Brooklyn manager John Meeker.
