Knickerbockers Beaten By Bluebirds, 7-2
The Brooklyn Bluebirds got a stellar effort from pitcher Jorge Sandoval, helping Brooklyn score a win over the visiting New York Knickerbockers, 7-2. Sandoval picked up the win for Brooklyn, going 6 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 3 hits. He now sports a record of 1-1. The loss puts New York at 3-4.

The Knickerbockers had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Bluebirds going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 30-year old first baseman Mike Bennett came to the plate. Bennett hit a 2-run double on a 1-1 fastball from New York hurler Jack Forbes. It was Bennett's 1st double of the year.

Said losing manager Sean Kelly: "Give the Bluebirds credit. They played a better game than we did."
