Bobcats Win at New York, 12-7
A 4-RBI performance from the 1968 Most Valuable Player Award winner Harold Batkin helped the Cleveland Bobcats beat the New York Knickerbockers, 12-7. The win makes Cleveland 22-27.

Cleveland left fielder Phil Chirico helped the Bobcats go up, 5-4, in the top of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Chirico hit a run-scoring single off New York pitcher Brian Williams.

"You win some, you lose some. I don't get too caught up in all that," said Batkin.
