Gangsters Snatch Late-Game, 3-2 Win
The Chicago Gangsters eked out a 3-2 win versus the San Francisco Fire at San Francisco Grounds. Nobody did more than pitcher Sam Palacios. He was terrific. The triumph makes Chicago 11-23.

In the top of the eighth, Paul Morgan, who is tied for 3rd in the AC in doubles with 12, delivered for Chicago. That's when he belted a solo home run, putting the Gangsters up, 3-2. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a climactic one.

"We just didn't score enough runs to win," said San Francisco manager Chris Ware.
