The Cleveland Bobcats stopped the Washington Eagles, 11-3, at Lakefront Stadium. The Bobcats got a big game from Fred Johnson, who was 3-4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 3 times. The winner was John Stoddard, who threw 105 pitches over 7 innings. The left-hander was charged with 2 runs on 7 hits. The win for the Bobcats lifted their record to 73-69.

Alan Romano had a big 2-run double for the Bobcats in the bottom of the second inning. With Cleveland leading 4-1 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Bill John, who is tied for 6th in the NBL with a 6.4 K/9 rate, and swatted a double to right. It was his 26th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Bobcats ahead, 6-1.

"I was just going up there trying to see good pitches, that was about it," said Johnson.
