Cleveland Drops Los Angeles, 11-6
The Cleveland Bobcats withstood a fine game by Los Angeles catcher Andy Covarrubio at Blockbuster Stadium, to upend the Blockbusters, 11-6. Covarrubio was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Cleveland sits at 15-9.

Cleveland used a clutch at-bat from Don Pelletier to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Bobcats ahead, 4-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We maximized our offense today," said Cleveland skipper Daniel Mays. "That makes everyone's life easier."
