Chiefs Win, Siniscalchi belts 2 home runs
Good production from left fielder Joe Siniscalchi helped the Chicago Chiefs topple the Houston Comets, 8-5. Siniscalchi hit 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice for the Chiefs. Chicago, with the win, sits at 14-29.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Ricardo Castillo to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Chiefs on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I liked our effort," said Chiefs manager Ollie Howard.
