Bluebirds Get Thrilling 3-2 Win
The Brooklyn Bluebirds faced a tenacious opponent in Cincinnati pitcher Art Ledington, but still scratched out a win at Roman Arena by a final score of 3-2 in 10 innings. Ledington went 9 innings and allowed 2 runs. Dick Conway picked up the win in relief. His record improves to 5-1. Kenny Foster suffered the loss. Dave Norman sewed up the save, his 32nd.

Brooklyn used the timely hitting of Jimmy Mara to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Bluebirds on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"Tough ballgame, tough loss," said Cincinnati manager Martin Abresch.

With the win over Cincinnati, the Bluebirds improved to 82-74.
