Cleveland Gets Riveting Walk-Off Win
The Cleveland Foresters had to overcome a fine effort from Cincinnati pitcher Chris Clarke to grab a narrow 5-4 win at Forester Stadium. Clarke went 7 innings and allowed 2 runs. Cleveland reliever Walt Hill picked up the win to move to 6-6. Butch Smith suffered the loss. The Continental Association-leading Foresters are 74-45.

Jim Adams Jr. was the walk-off hero for Cleveland. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Foresters third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"Feels good to get the job done," Adams Jr. said after the game.
