Gruber goes 3-for-3, Bobcats Move to 27-14
The Cleveland Bobcats downed the Washington Eagles, 8-1, at Monument Field. Rick Gruber led the way, going 3-for-3 for Cleveland. Bruce Cardenas earned the win, while 21-year old right-handed pitcher Pat Sullivan took the loss for Washington. With the win, the Bobcats improved to 27-14.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Frank Bohley? The Cleveland catcher had a run-scoring ground out in the top of the first inning to put the Bobcats on top, 2-0. For the game, Bohley had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Gruber. "But I like how we're playing right now."
