Bobcats Dismantle Knickerbockers, 17-3
The Cleveland Bobcats defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 17-3. Left Fielder Tom Crowell deserved a large share of the credit. Crowell was 3 for 5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 4 for the Bobcats. Rick Tomlinson picked up the win with 8 innings of work. He allowed 3 runs on 11 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 3. On the season, he is now 3-3. The Bobcats move to 18-20 with the win, while the Knickerbockers drop to 20-19.

Ray Gardner had a big 3-run home run for the Bobcats in the top of the first inning. With Cleveland leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he sized up a slider from Ray Schifsky, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1966 draft, and punished it. The result was his 5th home run of the season, which put the Bobcats on top, 4-0.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Crowell.
