Chiefs Win Thriller, 8-5
Thanks in large part to right fielder Rod Shearer, the Chicago Chiefs beat the Minneapolis Millers, 8-5. Shearer belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 4. The Chiefs bumped their record to 49-48 with this latest triumph.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With no one out, Shearer hit a slider from Bill Parkhurst for a 3-run home run. The Chiefs, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Shearer.
