Bobcats Win Thriller, 3-2
Cleveland right-hander Ray Norton helped his team edge Philadelphia by the score of 3-2. Norton kept the opposing lineup in check. Cleveland reliever Rick Tomlinson snagged the win, upping his record to 1-0. Sid Shafer shouldered the loss. Philadelphia now has a record of 2-2.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, five-time All-Star Fred Johnson had a chance to be the hero. Philadelphia pitcher Sid Shafer wanted to foil that plan. But with two outs, Johnson reached on an error by the SS, driving in 2 runs. The Bobcats had themselves a thrilling win.

"When Ray's on, he's on," said Cleveland manager Daniel Mays.
