Bobcats Score Late, Upend Knickerbockers, 7-4
The Cleveland Bobcats trumped the New York Knickerbockers, 7-4, at Knickerbocker Stadium. Cleveland third baseman Keith MacPherson was terrific. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. The winner was Cleveland reliever Rick Tomlinson, now 2-0. The loser was Ron Haney. The National Baseball League Eastern Division-leading Bobcats have a record of 31-20.

Cleveland needed the clutch hitting of Alan Romano to seal the deal. The center fielder swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bobcats on top, 5-4. For the game, Romano had 1 home run and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"We've got a great group of guys," MacPherson said, "and we're having fun right now."
