23ers Lose to Gangsters, 8-3
The 8-3 Chicago win over Fountain Hills was due in large part to Eric Drake. The Gangsters third baseman was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. With the loss, Fountain Hills drops to 4-5.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Drake hit a 2-run home run off Brian Gay. It propelled the Gangsters into the lead, 4-2.

"Solid performance from our side," said Gangsters manager Antonio Valdez.
