Spiders Walk Off with 8-7 Win
New York got a terrific performance from catcher Mike Lieberthal, but it wasn't enough to beat the Cleveland Spiders. Cleveland won the League Park contest, 8-7. Lieberthal was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Reliever Sterling Hitchcock picked up the win. His record improves to 7-4. Andy Ashby took the loss. The Spiders, now 66-80, have won 4 in a row.

Cleveland took a 8-7 lead on Billy Ripken's 120th hit of the season. The run-scoring single, which Ripken hit in the bottom of the tenth, left New York pitcher Andy Ashby shaking his head.

"We're stringing together some nice wins," said Cleveland manager Wilson Ogle.
