The Cleveland Bobcats ushered in the 1975 season with a win versus the Cincinnati Packers at Lakefront Stadium. The final score was 8-3. Center Fielder Tom Crowell, who finished 5th in the NBL in slugging percentage with .494 in 1969, had a standout performance. Cleveland starter Myron Baird was credited with the win after throwing 111 pitches over 8 innings. His record now stands at 1-0.

With Cleveland leading 1-0 in the bottom of the second, Crowell hit a 2-run single off Cincinnati hurler Damon Rutherford. It was the 3rd hit of the season for Crowell and put his team ahead, 3-0.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Cleveland skipper Daniel Mays.
