Cleveland Nets 7-6 Win Versus Knickerbockers
With right fielder Bill Harper leading the charge, the Cleveland Bobcats defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 7-6, at Knickerbocker Stadium. Harper, who finished 2nd in the NBL in runs with 132 in 1970, went 1 for 2 with 2 walks. He drove in 3 runs. Cleveland reliever Frank Rudin was the winner. His record is now 2-1. The losing pitcher was Brian Williams. Cleveland goes to 30-20. The win puts them 4 games up in their division.

Cleveland used a timely hit from Ruben Galvan to get the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bobcats ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it made an impact.

"Getting the win feels nice," said Galvan. "More importantly, I had a good game."
