Knickerbockers Take Down Bobcats, 2-1
The New York Knickerbockers relied on a great performance from 27-year old right-handed pitcher Jack Forbes to beat the Cleveland Bobcats, 2-1, in 10 innings at Knickerbocker Stadium. New York pitcher Bruce Elsner got the win, upping his record to 3-0. Pat Burkholder got the loss. The victory gives New York a record of 37-36.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when New York left fielder Ron Freeman, facing Pat Burkholder, had a run-scoring walk. It gave the Knickerbockers the 2-1 win.

"Felt great, felt really good," said Forbes.
