Bluebirds Roll to 8-2 Win Over Knickerbockers
Brooklyn Bluebirds starter Antonio Valerio found his groove in his team's 8-2 win over the New York Knickerbockers. Valerio got the win, improving to 5-13. He gave up 7 hits and walked 4 over 9 innings. He allowed 2 runs. The Bluebirds improved their record to 74-77 by beating New York.

Brooklyn used a clutch at-bat from Tom Pena to capture the win. The shortstop hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the second inning to put the Bluebirds ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Said losing manager Timothy Widholm: "Give the Bluebirds credit. They played a better game than we did."
