Bluebirds Victors, 7-2, at Cincinnati
Roman Arena was the site for National Baseball League action featuring the Cincinnati Packers and Brooklyn Bluebirds.

Damon Rutherford, who finished 4th in the NBL in wins with 20 in 1957, was locked in. The right-hander led the Brooklyn Bluebirds to a 7-2 win against the Cincinnati Packers at Roman Arena. In 9 innings, Rutherford surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 3. He allowed 2 runs.

The game still hung in the balance with two out in the bottom of the eighth inning. Rutherford, however, wiggled out of a jam. With the bases loaded and Cincinnati trailing 7-2, Rutherford retired Jerry Anderson, who grounded out.

The win puts Brooklyn at 57-82.
