Gangsters Take Down Whistlers, 6-4
Thanks in large part to center fielder Willie Bravo, the Chicago Gangsters clipped the Boston Whistlers, 6-4, in 11 innings. Bravo was 4-5 with a home run, a triple, and a double, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Keith Kramer, who is tied for 10th in the AC in saves with 17, was the winner in relief. His record is now 6-5. The losing pitcher was Blake Bryant. The win has Chicago at 52-77.

Josh Wachter came through with a big-time hit for Chicago. The left fielder smacked a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to give his team the lead, 5-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Wachter. "And not try to do too much."
