Gangsters Deal Royals 8-5 Loss
The Chicago Gangsters got a rain-soaked win over the Cincinnati Royals.

The Chicago Gangsters had to overcome a big game from Cincinnati left fielder Eric Hayes to leave The Castle with a victory. And they did, winning, 8-5. Hayes went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Nick Slover was called on to finish, recording his 5th save.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by J.J. Hassell to capture the win. The first baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Gangsters ahead, 6-5. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"What's not to like about a win?" said Hassell.

The Gangsters, now 9-19, have not found much traction so far in 2024.
