Desperados Lose to Gangsters, 11-5
The Chicago Gangsters powered past the Austin Desperados, 11-5, at The Hideout. Gary Draeger provided some of the pop. He went 2-4 with 2 singles and a walk, while scoring 3. The Gangsters improved their record to 43-76 by beating Austin.

Eduardo Acosta had a big 3-run home run for the Gangsters in the bottom of the eighth inning. With Chicago leading 8-5 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a fastball from Bill Reno and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 13th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Gangsters ahead, 11-5.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Acosta told the Chicago News. "It's as simple as that."
