Browns Trip Patriots, 3-2, in Extra Innings
In a tight contest between the Cleveland Browns and the New England Patriots, Juan Rodriguez was the determining factor. The Cleveland right-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. The Browns raised their record to 12-12.

The decisive blow was delivered by Tommy Page in the bottom of the 11th when he hit a run-scoring double off 26-year old right-handed pitcher Roberto Velazquez to win the game for Cleveland. The home crowd went nuts.

"Big win," said Page.
