Foresters Get Clutch Win Versus Kansas City
The Cleveland Foresters topped the Kansas City Kings, 4-3, in Continental Association action at Prairie Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Cleveland pitcher Adrian Czerwinski. With the win, Cleveland pushed its record to 85-65.

Cleveland used the timely hitting of Bill Sikorski to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 15th inning to put the Foresters on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

"We were determined to pick up this win," said Czerwinski.
