Cincinnati got a valiant performance from pitcher Art Ledington, but it wasn't enough to beat the Cleveland Bobcats. Cleveland won the game, 2-1. Ledington threw 8.0 innings of 5-hit ball for the losing team. The winner in relief was Joe Clabaugh. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2.2 innings. He now owns a record of 9-1. The first-place Bobcats, at 62-31, now lead their division by 7 games.

Ernie Wilkins hit a run-scoring double off Art Ledington in the bottom of the seventh, which put the Bobcats in front, 2-1. In addition to the double, Wilkins had 1 single, while going 2 for 3.

"This was a tough loss," said Cincinnati manager Martin Abresch. "It'll stick in my craw for a while."
