Bobcats Get Clutch Win, 7-6
The Cleveland Bobcats turned back the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 7-6, at Blockbuster Stadium. Alan Romano, in particular, had a fine performance. He was 3 for 4 with a double and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. Rick Tomlinson recorded his 2nd save for Cleveland. The victory makes Cleveland 18-14, as the team seeks a return to the playoffs in 1977.

The game was at a stalemate until shortstop Ernie Wilkins came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Los Angeles pitcher Cardell Franklin, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Cleveland on top, 7-6.

"I like the grit of this ballclub," Romano said.
