Chiefs Victorious at Minneapolis, 6-1
John Thomas pitched a gem to lead Chicago to victory over the Minneapolis Millers, 6-1. Minneapolis now owns a losing streak of 5 games.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Tom Spruill to capture the win. The shortstop socked a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Chiefs ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"You have to trust that what you're doing is going to produce results," said Thomas.
