Wilkins Excels in 12-4 Cleveland Win
The Cleveland Bobcats defeated the Brooklyn Bluebirds, 12-4, at Flatbush Park. Cleveland shortstop Ernie Wilkins had a superb performance. He went 3-4 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Bruce Elsner was the winner. He's now 8-8. The loser was 22-year old right-handed pitcher Rod Henry. Cleveland is now 59-51. Brooklyn is 54-56.

Cleveland relied on the hitting of Alan Romano to pick up the win. The right fielder ripped a bases-clearing triple in the top of the first inning to put the Bobcats on top, 4-0. For the game, Romano had 2 triples and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Romano. "Those qualities define our team."
