Cuban Stars Earn 2-1 Win Versus Black Cats
The Brooklyn Cuban Stars earned a close win over the Cleveland Black Cats, thanks in part to Larry Eagle. The Brooklyn right-hander, who is tied for 5th in the GNL with a 1.44 ERA, played a key role in the 2-1 victory. The loss makes Cleveland 15-11.

Nat Hawkins was the walk-off hero for Brooklyn. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cuban Stars center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"We're all about heart and hustle on this team. That's what wins ballgames," Hawkins told the Brooklyn News.
