| Chiefs Hope Win Turns Around Slow Start | The Chicago Chiefs received a sterling performance from starting pitcher Troy Myers, allowing them to shoot down the Atlanta Copperheads, 4-1. The Chiefs with just their 5th win in 18 games, have played uninspired baseball so far.
Chicago used a big swing from Ricardo Castillo to get the win. The right fielder walloped a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Chiefs up, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it changed the outcome.
"We need better swings, better at-bats," said losing manager Don Fox.
