Cooper Helps Bluebirds Defeat Bobcats, 9-1
The performance of Jackie Cooper proved critical in helping Brooklyn beat Cleveland, 9-1. The Bluebirds right fielder went 4-4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 3. Jorge Sandoval, the winning pitcher, is now 13-10. He went 9 innings, allowing 1 run on 6 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 1. Brooklyn is now 68-71, while Cleveland is 81-60.

Tom Pena had a big 3-run home run for the Bluebirds in the bottom of the first inning. With Brooklyn leading 3-1 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a curveball from 29-year old right-handed pitcher Roger Scherf and punished it. The result was his 8th home run of the season, which put the Bluebirds on top, 6-1.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Brooklyn manager John Meeker.
