Cleveland Nets 3-2 Win Versus Knickerbockers
It was pandemonium at Lakefront Stadium after an exciting walk-off win.

The New York Knickerbockers could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Chris Hull into a win. Instead, the Cleveland Bobcats prevailed, 3-2. Hull threw 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball. Joe Clabaugh claimed the win after being brought in from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed no runs on 3 hits in 3 innings. His record stands at 7-7.

Rick Gruber was the walk-off hero for Cleveland. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Bobcats first baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

Gruber called the win "a collective effort."

The win puts Cleveland at 46-42 this season.
