Packers Win with Late Heroics
The Cincinnati Packers racked up a win at Roman Arena, bumping off the Brooklyn Bluebirds, 5-2, in 10 innings. Fernando Lopez, who started for Cincinnati, pitched effectively for his team. The winner was Cincinnati reliever Steve Meckley, now 3-3. The loser was Frank D'Amico. The win puts Cincinnati at 44-64.

Cincinnati got a knockout punch from Larry Beckman. The second baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"Our team showed some spunk," said Beckman.
