Gilkey Helps Spiders Run Win Streak to 4
The Cleveland Spiders defeated the Cincinnati Reds, 9-5, in Federal League action at League Park, with Cleveland right fielder Bernard Gilkey named player of the game. Sterling Hitchcock earned the win to go to 2-0. He allowed 5 earned runs on 8 hits, with 2 walks and 11 strikeouts. The Reds fall to 5-5 and continue their uneasy start to the 1997 season.

Making an impact for the home team was Raul Ibanez. In the bottom of the third, the former first round draft pick had a run-scoring hit-by-pitch. That made the score 3-1, Spiders.

"We were able to get some things going offensively," said Gilkey.
