Monarchs Raise Rally Flag, Beat Cleveland, 4-2
The Cincinnati Monarchs got a marvelous performance from pitcher Kenneth Ranson. The left-hander kept the Cleveland offense from ever getting much traction. The result was an impressive 4-2 Cincinnati victory at Lakefront Park. The Monarchs have stumbled out of the gate, getting only their 5th win in 15 games.

Cincinnati used the timely hitting of Frank Abbott to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Monarchs on top, 3-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"The key at this level is throwing strike one," said Ranson. "Successful pitchers do it."
