Cleveland Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The Cleveland Bobcats overcame a big game from Brooklyn catcher Ed Blain to pick up a win at Lakefront Stadium. The final score was 6-5, Cleveland, in 12 innings. Blain went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Bobcats, at 21-25, inhabit 5th place in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

The decisive blow was delivered by Danny Fierro in the bottom of the 12th when he hit a solo home run off 29-year old left-handed pitcher Bill Keiser to win the game for Cleveland. The home crowd went nuts.

Fierro called the extra-inning win a "confidence builder."
