Brooklyn Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The Cincinnati Packers wasted an inspired, 8.1-inning effort from starter Fernando Lopez, falling, 1-0, to the Brooklyn Bluebirds at Flatbush Park. Bob Hill, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1961 draft, was the winner in relief. His record is now 2-2. The losing pitcher was Fernando Lopez. The Bluebirds, with just their 7th win so far in 1972, have yet to catch fire.

The decisive blow was delivered by Bob Rawlins in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off former first round draft pick Fernando Lopez to win the game for Brooklyn. The home crowd went nuts.

"That's how to finish a ballgame," said Rawlins.
