Chiefs Rally Late to Clip Minneapolis
Chicago starter Vern Osborne pitched well against the Minneapolis Millers at Whitney Park. The left-hander led his team to a win, 3-2, in 11 innings. Chicago pitcher Jack Miller got the win, upping his record to 1-0. John Stallings got the loss. The win takes Chicago to 6-5.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the 11th inning, when Chicago third baseman Tom Spruill, facing John Stallings, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Chiefs the 3-2 win.

"No one likes losing," said Minneapolis manager Frank Vance. "But we'll turn this thing around."
