Bobcats Suffer 4-1 Road Loss
The Brooklyn Bluebirds beat the Cleveland Bobcats, 4-1, at Flatbush Park. Starting pitcher Damon Rutherford was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Rutherford yielded 1 run over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 8 hits, walked 3, and struck out 6. His record improves to 3-6. With the win, Brooklyn goes to 23-33, while the Bobcats fall to 27-28.

Dave Tislow had a big 2-run triple for the Bluebirds in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Brooklyn leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a cutter from Tim McDonald, who is tied for 10th in the NBL in innings pitched with 86.0, and swatted a triple to left. It was his 1st triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bluebirds ahead, 4-0.

"I executed the game plan," said Rutherford.
