Packers Earn 7-5 Win Against Bobcats
The Cleveland Bobcats could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Rick Tomlinson into a win. Instead, the Cincinnati Packers prevailed, 7-5, in 10 innings. Tomlinson threw 5.1 innings of 4-hit ball. Cincinnati now sits at 69-80, while Cleveland falls to 98-50.

Cincinnati relied on the hitting of Lee McGee to pick up the win. The left fielder ripped a 2-run triple in the top of the tenth inning to put the Packers on top, 5-3. For the game, McGee had 1 triple and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," McGee told the Cincinnati Citizen.
