Cougars Come Back Late to Top Sailors, 5-3
With center fielder John Moss leading the charge, the Chicago Cougars defeated the Philadelphia Sailors, 5-3, at Sailors Memorial Stadium. Moss, who finished 5th in the CA in runs with 96 last year, was 2 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. David Molina converted his 16th save in 24 tries. With the win, Chicago upped its record to 60-59.

Moss had a game-changing double in the top of the eighth. On a full count sinker from John Thomas Johnson, he banged a 2-run double to left, giving the Cougars a 5-3 lead. It was the 18th double of the year for Moss.

"I'm just trying to make good contact," said Moss, "one at-bat at a time."
