Chicago Hands Los Angeles 11-9 Defeat
The Chicago Chiefs downed the Los Angeles Suns, 11-9, at Wilshire Park. The Chiefs were led by Ricardo Castillo. Castillo was 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. John Thomas, 1-1, earned the win in relief. He allowed 3 runs on 6 hits in 3 innings. The loss drops Los Angeles to 4-3.

Chicago shortstop Rankin Ziegler contributed a timely at-bat in the top of the second. With two down, he hit a fastball to right-center field for a 2-run single. It was his 14th hit of the season and put the Chiefs ahead, 8-0.

"Enjoyed this one," Ziegler told the Chicago News. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
