Siniscalchi Swings Chiefs to 10-4 Win
The Chicago Chiefs grabbed a win, 10-4, over the Atlanta Copperheads at Peachtree Stadium. Chicago left fielder Joe Siniscalchi was 3 for 4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2. Nate Carr, the winner, is now 7-7. He struck out 0 and walked 0 over 7 innings, while allowing 3 runs on 8 hits. The 5th-place Chiefs go to 41-57.

With Chicago leading 3-2 in the top of the third, Siniscalchi hit a fastball from Marco Middleton for a 2-run home run. It was his 16th home run of the season and put the Chiefs ahead, 5-2.

"See ball, hit ball. When I think too much, that's when I get in trouble," Siniscalchi told the Chicago News.
