Chicago Hands Milwaukee 4-3 Defeat
The Chicago American Giants defeated the Milwaukee Bears, 4-3, in Senior Circuit action at County Stadium . Chicago pitcher Billy Hoeft had a standout performance. Matt Thornton converted his 24th save in 30 tries. The victory gives Chicago a record of 77-68.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Luis Polonia to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the American Giants on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

Polonia said his team "played with focus."
