| Wolves Rally For Late Win Over Foresters | In the 5-3 Toronto win over Cleveland, the impact of Ty Rusconi was substantial. Rusconi, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1956 draft, went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Toronto reliever Zeke Blake was the winner. His record is now 2-0. Sibby Smith took the loss. Wilson Pearson picked up the save for Toronto, his 2nd of the year.
Rusconi had a game-changing double in the top of the ninth. On a 2-1 fastball from Frank Young, he banged a run-scoring double to center, giving the Wolves a 3-2 lead. It was the 1st double of the year for Rusconi.
"We were the better team," crowed Rusconi.
Toronto sits at 3-2.
