Cuban Stars Pull Off Thrilling 3-2 Win in Extras
Brooklyn Cuban Stars starter Larry Eagle pitched his team past the Cleveland Black Cats in 10 innings, 3-2. The winner was Eagle. He threw 9.0 innings of 7-hit ball. The loser was Charlie Benjamin. The Cuban Stars improved to 31-34.

Brooklyn used the timely hitting of Frank Lewis to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Cuban Stars on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Lewis.
