Big Day for Draeger in 4-1 Gangsters Win
The exploits of third baseman Gary Draeger, who leads the AC in stolen bases with 33, helped the Chicago Gangsters defeat the Syracuse Scorpions, 4-1. Draeger was 4 for 4 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Butch Saulters picked up the win with 7 innings of work. He allowed no runs on 5 hits, while walking 0 and striking out 5. On the season, he is now 2-4. Chicago, at 22-30, occupies second place in the American Conference Central Division.

The Gangsters picked up the win with a combination of good hitting and good pitching.

"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Draeger told the Chicago News.
