Bluebirds Down Bobcats, 3-2
The Brooklyn Bluebirds got a good effort from starter Rod Henry in defeating the Cleveland Bobcats at Lakefront Stadium. The final score was 3-2. Henry, the winner, moves to 3-6. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while fanning 5 and giving up 6 walks. With the win, the Bluebirds have a record of 61-59.

Brooklyn used a clutch at-bat from Miguel Saenz to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Bluebirds ahead, 3-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Brooklyn skipper John Meeker.
