Cleveland Pockets 7-3 Win Over Denver
Benito Olivas made an impact in the 7-3 Cleveland win over Denver. Olivas, the 4th overall pick in the 1969 draft, was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Bruce Cardenas, who led the NBL in ERA with 2.15 in 1972, was the winning pitcher. Over 6.2 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 9 hits, with 3 walks and 5 strikeouts. The first-place Bobcats, at 95-48, lead the National Baseball League Eastern Division by 15½ games.

Cleveland second baseman Art Spruill contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the third. With two down, he hit a slider to right field for a 2-run single. It was his 33rd hit of the season and put the Bobcats ahead, 4-1.

"It was a good team win. Everybody threw something in," Olivas told the Cleveland Today.
