Chicago Downed, 9-5, by Millers
No one was more impactful than Bill Anderson in the 9-5 Minneapolis win over Chicago. Anderson was 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The Millers, at 62-75, sit in 4th place in the Federal Association West.

Anderson delivered in the clutch for Minneapolis. In the bottom of the ninth, he took a 1-0 fastball from Chicago pitcher Ed Rowley and parked it over the fence. The grand slam home run won it for Minneapolis.

"The crowd was juiced," said Anderson.
