Gangsters Earn Win with Late Rally
The Hideout was the site of quite a ballgame.

Chicago second baseman Gary Draeger was a significant contributor in his team's 8-7 triumph over the Boston Whistlers. He went 3-5 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Gangsters. Chicago sits in last place in the American Conference Central Division at 46-85.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the 11th. With two out, Draeger hit a fastball from Kory Tourville for a run-scoring single. The Gangsters, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"I'm glad this one's going in the books as a 'W'," Draeger said.
