Late Rally by Spiders Secures Win
The Cleveland Spiders topped the Kansas City Royals, 5-3, in Federal League action at Royals Stadium. The player of the game was Cleveland pitcher and Melbourne, Florida native Tim Wakefield. The winning pitcher was Wakefield, now 9-10. He tossed 8 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 5 and fanning 7. Mark Wohlers converted his 15th save in 16 tries.

Cleveland took a 5-3 lead on Howard Johnson's 49th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Johnson hit in the top of the ninth, left Kansas City pitcher John Habyan shaking his head.

"Tim's tempo and rhythm were good," said Spiders manager Wilson Ogle. "He was the key to us winning."

The third-place Spiders raised their record to 60-68.
