The Brooklyn Bluebirds rode a solid performance from 39-year-old starting pitcher Damon Rutherford to a win, beating the Cleveland Bobcats, 2-1, at Flatbush Park. The loss drops Cleveland to 2-5.

The Bluebirds got a big at-bat from right fielder Jackie Cooper. For the game, Cooper was 1 for 4 with a home run. In the bottom of the sixth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 2nd home run of the season gave Brooklyn a 2-1 lead.

"We were in it," said Cleveland manager Daniel Mays. "We just didn't score enough runs."
