Cleveland Foresters (24-24) 0 0 3 0 0 0 2 3 X 8 14 0
Cougars Suffer 8-3 Loss to Foresters
The 8-3 Cleveland win over Chicago was due largely to John Piper. The Foresters right fielder was 3-4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. Cleveland is now 24-24.

Had Stan McDavitt not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 2nd, McDavitt hit a 2-run double. That made the score 5-3, in favor of the Foresters.

"I think it just wasn't our night," said Chicago skipper Pug Bryan.
