Olivas Swings Bobcats to 9-6 Win
The Cleveland Bobcats grabbed a win, 9-6, over the Brooklyn Bluebirds at Flatbush Park. Cleveland shortstop Benito Olivas was 4-4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 4. Brooklyn's current losing streak has reached 5 games.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Phil Chirico to seize the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Bobcats on top, 8-6. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Olivas.
