Packers Sneak By Bluebirds, 3-2
The Cincinnati Packers sent the home crowd home ecstatic.

The Cincinnati Packers wanted a good start from Chris Montgomery -- and he delivered one. The result was a 3-2 Cincinnati win over the Brooklyn Bluebirds at Roman Arena. Cincinnati, with the win, climbs to 38-93.

Cincinnati got a clutch hit from Bill Wesley. The third baseman launched a 2-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a kill shot.

After the game, Cincinnati manager Martin Abresch applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
