Syracuse Downed, 6-4, by Gangsters
The Chicago Gangsters picked up a win at Scorpion Stadium, knocking off the Syracuse Scorpions, 6-4. Starting pitcher Bobby Nowlin played a key role in the triumph. Chicago pitcher Keith Kramer got the win. He's now 7-6. Ken Allbaugh was tagged with the loss. Brian Kauppinen earned his 1st save in 6 tries.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Jon Fritz to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Gangsters on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I'm just looking to see the ball, hit the ball," said Fritz.

With this game in the books, Chicago is 63-92, Syracuse 74-81.
