| Suns Suffer 3-1 Home Defeat | The Chicago Chiefs picked up a win at Wilshire Park, courtesy of Otis Hawkins. The left-hander helped his team stop the Los Angeles Suns, 3-1. Hawkins got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 5 hits and walked 2 over 7 innings. He allowed 1 run. The Chiefs, now 7-3, have played some good baseball in the early going.
Bob Starr came through with a big-time hit for Chicago. The right fielder smacked a 2-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to give his team the lead, 3-1. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.
"I'm happy we won," said Hawkins. "That's first and foremost. My goal is for the team to win the day I pitch, however it's done." | |
