Quakers Take Nail-Biter Over Bluebirds
The Philadelphia Quakers had to weather a strong performance from Brooklyn pitcher Damon Rutherford before claiming a 3-1 win in 11 innings. Rutherford went 9 innings and allowed 1 run. The winner in relief was Bill Kaiser. He is now 4-0. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. The 4th-place Bluebirds have dropped 4 straight games.

Philadelphia got a clutch hit from Joe Voss. The third baseman launched a 2-run home run in the bottom of the 11th inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 6 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

"Sometimes winning takes more than 27 outs," said Quakers manager Jeff Green.
