Cougars Dispatch Mavericks, 11-3
Chicago left-hander Jim Norris pitched his team to victory over the Kansas City Mavericks at Mavericks Stadium. The final score was 11-3. The winner was Norris. He threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball. The loser was Orville Johnson. With the win, the Cougars hiked their record to 40-36.

Norris had no bigger at-bat than in the top of the fourth when the three-time Allen Award winner hit a 2-run double. The double gave Chicago the lead, 3-1. It was his 4th double of the season.

"The only difference is executing pitches and not executing pitches," said Norris. "When you don't execute, you get beat. When you execute, you usually give your team a chance to win."
