Blue Caps Come Back Late, Nip Cyclones
In a tight contest at Lakeside Grounds, the Cleveland Blue Caps edged the Chicago Cyclones by the score of 7-6. Cleveland shortstop Will Wessels, who blasted 1 home run, was a key contributor. The winner was Jack McKinley, who threw 129 pitches over 9 innings. The right-hander was charged with 6 runs on 9 hits. Cleveland is in second place in the Federal League with a record of 58-36.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Cleveland. That's when William Williamson hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Ben Brownfield to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

Williamson told the Cleveland Today: "I was born for the big stage."
