Bobcats Rack Up 7-5 Win Versus Washington
Frank Bohley helped his team muscle past the Washington Eagles, 7-5. In the game, the Cleveland catcher went 2-2 with a double and 2 walks, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was Myron Baird. He's now 15-9. He went 6 innings, allowing 5 runs on 7 hits for the Bobcats. Joe Clabaugh converted his 22nd save in 34 tries.

Ernie Wilkins went 1 for 2 with a double, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for Cleveland. The five-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and runners on 1st and 3rd, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Morris Rice. It was his 35th RBI of the season.

"Winning is always a team effort," Bohley said after the game.

Cleveland now has a record of 86-45 with the win.
