Wranglers Fall to Foresters Late
Cleveland right fielder Andy Babel was a significant contributor in his team's 9-6 triumph over the Dallas Wranglers. He was 3 for 5 with a triple and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Foresters. The 5th-place Foresters go to 60-73.

The game was all tied up in the top of the ninth, until Babel delivered big-time for Cleveland, stroking a dramatic 2-run triple off Johnny Manning. The game-changing hit put the Foresters on top, 8-6.

"Winning is seldom easy in this league," said Babel.
