Chicago turned a fine outing from starter Gordie Irwin into a victory over the Cleveland Foresters at Forester Stadium. The final score was 4-2. The win makes Chicago 59-65.

Leo Mitchell, who led the CA in stolen bases with 34 in 1951, had a direct impact on the outcome. Mitchell contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the sixth inning to put Chicago up, 3-2.

"We'll pocket this win," said Mitchell, "and then go after another."
