Chiefs Top Suns, 6-4
The Chicago Chiefs overcame a pretty good performance by Los Angeles left fielder Aaron Courtney, beating the Suns, 6-4, at Wilshire Park. Courtney was 4-6 with a home run, 2 doubles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The win was credited to 32-year old right-handed pitcher John Thomas in relief. His record improves to 4-1. Roy Wheeler took the loss. Chicago is 74-77 and Los Angeles, with the loss, 88-61.

Chicago took advantage of an error in the top of the 21st inning. The game was tied, 4-4, when Freddie Mitchel hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Chiefs in front, 5-4.

"Our team showed some resilience," said Mitchel.
