| Millers Lose 7-3 Decision to Chicago | The Chicago Chiefs defeated the Minneapolis Millers, 7-3. First Baseman Babe Thornton deserved a large share of the credit. Thornton went 1-1 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for the Chiefs. Troy Myers, who finished 3rd in the FA in ERA with 2.78 in 1969, was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, with no walks and 2 strikeouts. Minneapolis, at 18-24, has lost 4 straight.
Chicago pitcher Troy Myers made an impact. He drilled a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fourth. In the contest, Myers threw 6.0 innings allowing 3 runs.
"Babe leaves the last at-bat behind him, whether it was good or bad, and goes up there and competes on every pitch," said Chicago manager Ollie Howard.
