Knickerbockers Rally For Late Win Over Bobcats
The New York Knickerbockers topped the Cleveland Bobcats, 8-3, in National Baseball League action at Lakefront Stadium. The standout performance belonged to New York pitcher and Hillsborough, North Carolina, native Ollie Hundley. New York reliever Steve Eaton picked up the win, upping his record to 2-3. Doug Leonard took the loss. With the win, New York upped its record to 47-38.

New York got the win thanks to a clutch hit from Luis Benitez. The left fielder stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Knickerbockers ahead, 6-2. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it had a major impact on the outcome.

"We did a lot of things right," said Benitez.
