Cleveland Loses, 4-3, to Brooklyn in 12
The Brooklyn Bluebirds clipped the Cleveland Bobcats, 4-3, in 12 innings at Lakefront Stadium. The standout performance belonged to Brooklyn pitcher and Belleville, Pennsylvania, native Antonio Valerio. The winner was Brooklyn reliever Dave Norman, now 7-4. The loser was Steve Eaton. Brooklyn has won 3 straight, while Cleveland has lost 3 in a row.

Rick Pace came through with a big-time hit for Brooklyn. The catcher smacked a solo home run in the top of the 12th inning to give his team the lead, 4-3. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"You get some opportunities, you better take advantage of them," said Cleveland manager Daniel Mays.
