Bluebirds Snatch Late-Game, 2-1 Win
Brooklyn Bluebirds starter Mike Blalock pitched his team past the Denver Burros, 2-1. The win was credited to Bob Hill in relief. His record improves to 4-2. Bart Dunsley took the loss. The win puts Brooklyn at 34-31 this season.

Had Harry Rhodes not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Rhodes hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Bluebirds.

In postgame comments to the Brooklyn Daily News, Rhodes said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
