Dynamos Lose to Chiefs in Walk-Off
Whitney Park played host to some exciting baseball.

The Chicago Chiefs outlasted the Detroit Dynamos, 8-7, in 10 innings. Tommy Ashton played a key role, going 3-for-6 for Chicago. Hal Alsip, 4-2, earned the win in relief. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits in 2.2 innings.

The game was decided with one out in the bottom of the tenth. With Chicago trailing 7-6, Andy Ellefsen hit a splitter from Charlie Christianson to right for a 2-run single. Just like that, the Chiefs had a walk-off win.

"This was one of those 'not to be denied' games," said Chicago field general Ollie Howard.

The 5th-place Chiefs improved to 45-61.
