Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Bluebirds
Brooklyn first baseman Mike Bennett was a significant contributor in his team's 7-5 triumph over the Cincinnati Packers. He went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Bluebirds. Dick Conway finished to wrap up his 2nd save. The Bluebirds now have a record of 54-55 with the win over Cincinnati.

Ed Blain came through with a big-time hit for Brooklyn. The catcher smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the eighth inning to give his team the lead, 7-5. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Bennett told the Brooklyn Citizen.
