Canseco Shines, But Cuban Giants Fall Short
Both teams had their chances, but the Baltimore Black Sox eventually prevailed.

The Baltimore Black Sox overcame a fine performance by Miami right fielder José Canseco to defeat the Cuban Giants, 6-5, at Baker Bowl. Canseco went 2 for 2 with 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. The winning pitcher was Bill Byrd. He's now 10-2. He went 6 innings, allowing 1 run on 8 hits for the Black Sox.

Frank Robinson, the 20-year old left fielder , had a direct impact on the outcome. Robinson contributed a 2-run single in the top of the third inning to put Baltimore up, 3-0.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Robinson.

The triumph puts Baltimore at 58-37 for the season.
