Doves Get Clutch Win, 4-3
The Cincinnati Doves picked up a win at Doves Field, taking down the Cleveland Athletics, 4-3. Starting pitcher William Baker was a big reason why. In 8 innings, Baker surrendered 10 hits, while striking out 3 and walking 3. He allowed 3 runs. Bonnie Kaye notched his 4th save in 4 chances.

Cincinnati took advantage of an error in the bottom of the eighth inning. The game was tied, 3-3, when Laverne Francombe hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Doves in front, 4-3.

"My job is to go out and play as hard as I can for the Doves," said Francombe.

The win puts Cincinnati at 36-30 this season.
