Bluebirds Hand New York 5-3 Loss
The Brooklyn Bluebirds picked up a win at Knickerbocker Stadium, knocking off the New York Knickerbockers, 5-3. Starting pitcher Rod Henry played a key role in the triumph. Dave Norman notched his 29th save in 35 chances. Brooklyn raised its record to 77-73 with the win.

Brooklyn used a clutch at-bat from Wade Fields to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Bluebirds ahead, 3-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"Hustle and hard work is a big part of our success," said Fields. "Those qualities define our team."
