Cleveland and Baltimore duked it out and the Clippers came out victorious.

The Cleveland Clippers faced a tough opponent in Baltimore pitcher Bill Silvers, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Banner Field by a final score of 6-4. Silvers went 0 innings and allowed no runs. Dan Hicks, the winning pitcher, improved to 16-27. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 10 hits and 4 runs, while striking out 2 and walking 2.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Joe Taylor? The 28-year old second baseman Taylor stroked a 2-run double in the top of the seventh inning to put Cleveland up, 6-3. For the game, he was 2 for 4, including 1 double and 1 single.

"I play this game for myself and my family, but of course it's always nice when we can win," said Taylor.

Cleveland bumps their record to 36-74 with the win.
