Traders Edge Bobcats, 3-2, to Open DR
The Chicago Traders powered past the hometown Cleveland Bobcats, 3-2, in the opener of the Divisional Round at Lakefront Stadium. Chicago starting pitcher Skip Crawford threw 6.0 innings of 5-hit ball, to lead the charge. The Traders now lead the series 1-0.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bobby Richter? The Chicago shortstop had a run-scoring double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Traders on top, 2-1. For the game, Richter had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

Richter called the win a testament to his team's "tenacity."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Lakefront Stadium in Cleveland.
