In 10, Cleveland Sinks Kansas City, 4-3
The Cleveland Foresters needed 10 innings to beat the Kansas City Mavericks, 4-3, at Forester Stadium. The win was due in part to center fielder Vern Schneider, who went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The 4th-place Foresters have won 5 straight.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the tenth. With two out, Schneider hit a fastball from Johnny Manning for a run-scoring single. The Foresters, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"This is a resilient bunch," said Cleveland manager Ray Parsons.
