5 Straight Wins for Bluebirds
The Brooklyn Bluebirds picked up a win at Flatbush Park, knocking off the Cincinnati Packers, 9-4. Starting pitcher Bill Curry was a big reason why. The winner was Curry. He threw 8.0 innings of 5-hit ball. The loser was Chris Montgomery. Cincinnati has now lost 4 straight.

Mike Bennett had a big 2-run double for the Bluebirds in the bottom of the first inning. With Brooklyn trailing 2-1 and the bases loaded, he got a sinker from 26-year old right-handed pitcher Chris Montgomery and swatted a double to left. It was his 15th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bluebirds ahead, 3-2.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Bennett told the Brooklyn Daily.
