Big Day for Cooper in 11-9 Bluebirds Win
In the 11-9 Brooklyn win over Denver, the impact of Jackie Cooper was substantial. Cooper, who finished 2nd in the NBL in wins above replacement with 8.7 last year, was 2-3 with a home run, a triple, and 2 walks, while scoring 2 and driving in 5. Dave Norman, now 6-7, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 0 and walking 1. The first-place Burros dropped to 60-36.

Brooklyn used the clutch hitting of Greg Landrum to capture the win. The left fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to give the Bluebirds the lead, 11-9. For the game, Landrum had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"It was one of those games where both teams were swinging the bat well," Cooper said.
