Shearer Leads Chiefs to 6-4 Win Over Miners
The Chicago Chiefs picked up a win, 6-4, over the Pittsburgh Miners at Whitney Park. Rod Shearer led the charge. The Odessa, Texas native went 3 for 3 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 5 for Chicago. The Chiefs win now puts them at 54-46.

Shearer had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the seventh. On a 1-0 fastball from George Kollock, he banged a grand slam home run to left, giving the Chiefs a 6-3 lead. It was the 9th home run of the year for Shearer.

"It's always a heck of a lot easier to get to sleep after a win," Shearer told the Chicago Today. "I know I'll rest easy tonight."
