Cubs Earn Win with Late Rally
John Dowd did all he could to help his team prevail. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Buffalo Bellflowers from losing the game, 6-5, to the Franklin Cubs in 10 innings at Franklin Park. Dowd slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice. Jim Unknown was the winner in relief. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Carlos Santiago. The loss drops Buffalo to 0-3.

The Cubs got a clutch hit from third baseman Gilberto Noris. In the bottom of the tenth, he hit a run-scoring single to right, to win the game for the Cubs.

"We've got guys willing to do what it takes to win," Noris told the Franklin Bulletin.
