Gangsters Get 11-7 Win Versus Detroit
Chicago first baseman Hector Alvarez helped his team beat the Detroit Giants, 11-7. Alvarez went 2 for 3 for the Gangsters. The winner in relief was Josh Shropshire. He is now 1-0. The right-hander allowed 1 run on 3 hits in 2 innings. The Gangsters go to 36-61 with the win.

Eduardo Acosta had a big 2-run home run for the Gangsters in the bottom of the second inning. With Chicago trailing 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he got a curveball from 29-year old left-handed pitcher Quito Herrera and swatted a home run to left. It was his 12th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Gangsters ahead, 3-2.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Alvarez. "You've got to get results."
