Bobcats Score Late to Nip Eagles, 4-3
The Cleveland Bobcats beat the Washington Eagles by a score of 4-3. Cleveland second baseman Bobby Magnuson deserved the lion's share of the credit. Magnuson went 3 for 4 with 3 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Bobcats. The win went to Joe Clabaugh in relief. His record improves to 2-5. Alex Fonseca took the loss. Cleveland has now won 3 in a row.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, an error by the Eagles allowed the Bobcats to score the winning run.

"Walking a team off at the end -- there's no greater feeling," said Bassett.
