Crooners Fall Short, 3-2, at Birmingham
The Birmingham Bears defeated the Hoboken Crooners, 3-2, in Amber Waves League action at Ballpark of Birmingham. Birmingham pitcher Arvid Verwest had a standout performance. Verwest, now 2-8, was the winner. In 7 innings, he gave up 7 hits, while striking out 0, walking 0, and allowing 2 runs. Clyde Borden picked up the save, his 2nd.

The Crooners had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Bears going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the 22-year old left fielder Brian Cole came to the plate. Cole hit a run-scoring double on a 1-0 fastball from Hoboken hurler Takanibu Takano. It was Cole's 11th double of the year.

"It's fun when you can help the team win games," said Cole.

Birmingham is now 52-63, Hoboken 64-51.
