Late Rally Earns Chicago 5-4 Win
The Chicago Chiefs beat the Detroit Dynamos by a score of 5-4. Chicago pinch hitter Jimmy Hairston deserved the lion's share of the credit. Hairston was 1-1 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Chiefs. Chicago reliever Joe Lancaster snagged the win, upping his record to 7-1. Earl Shields shouldered the loss. Chicago now has a record of 45-36 with the win.

Up to bat in the bottom of the ninth, Elmer Walters wanted to seize the moment and deliver a clutch hit. Detroit pitcher Earl Shields had other ideas. He wanted to end the Chicago rally. What happened next? With one out, Walters hit a sacrifice fly -- and the Chiefs erupted in celebration.

"He who laughs last laughs best," Walters said, postgame.
