Good production from first baseman Harold Batkin helped the Cleveland Bobcats topple the Cincinnati Packers, 13-3. Batkin was 4 for 4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 times and drove in 5 for the Bobcats. Tim McDonald, who went 9 innings, was the winning pitcher. He was charged with 3 runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 3. His record now stands at 1-0. Cleveland, with the win, is 2-0.

The Bobcats picked up the win with a combination of good hitting and good pitching.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Batkin told the Cleveland Daily News.
