Chiefs Get 6-5 Win Versus Pittsburgh
Chicago Chiefs starter Charlie Bingham found his groove in his team's 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Miners. Ernie Espanoza earned the save for Chicago, his 3rd. Chicago is now 19-19.

Chicago needed the clutch hitting of Rod Shearer to notch the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Chiefs on top, 6-5. For the game, Shearer had 1 home run and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

Shearer told the Chicago Citizen: "I'm the straw that stirs the drink."
