The Chicago Cougars defeated the Kansas City Mavericks, 11-6, at Cougars Park. Chicago catcher Chappy Sanders had a superb performance. He hit 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Chicago goes to 44-39, Kansas City to 33-52.

John Baab had a big 3-run home run for the Cougars in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Chicago trailing 6-4 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a curveball from Irv Hoops, the 4th overall pick in the 1969 draft, and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Cougars on top, 7-6.

"We take it day by day here," said Baab, "and today was a good one for us."
