Chicago pitcher John Mitchell gave the Cannons all they could handle, but in the end, Cincinnati left Tice Memorial Stadium II with a win, 2-1. Mitchell allowed 1 run on 7 hits over 10 innings. The win was credited to John Walker in relief. His record improves to 8-5. Arch Wilson took the loss. Cincinnati occupies 7th place in the Continental Association at 61-67.

The Cannons got a clutch hit from second baseman Bill Ballard. In the bottom of the 12th, he hit a run-scoring single to center, to win the game for the Cannons.

"We couldn't have scripted it any better," Ballard said in his postgame press conference.
