Dolphins Take Tight Tangle
The Cleveland Browns got a superb performance from pitcher Ben Horne, but the Miami Dolphins still won the game, 4-3. Horne threw 8.0 innings of shutout ball. Miami reliever C.J. Benvenuto picked up the win, while Adam Taute took the loss for Cleveland. The loss lowers the Cleveland record to 12-13.

In the bottom of the ninth, with no one out and the game tied, 3-3, 23-year old right-handed pitcher C.J. Benvenuto won it for Miami. With the bases loaded, Benvenuto hit a 1-1 cutter from Adam Taute for a run-scoring single, giving his team the 4-3 win.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Benvenuto said in his postgame press conference.
