Chicago first baseman Buck DeFalco was a significant contributor in his team's 9-4 triumph over the Dallas Wranglers. He went 3-5 with 3 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Hawks. The winning pitcher was Bruce Elsner. He tossed 126 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 10 hits. The last-place Hawks sport a record of 39-56.

Though it wasn't a flawless game -- few are -- the fans who filled the stands at Hyde Park Stadium seemed to enjoy watching the American Baseball League action.

"We maximized our offense today," said Chicago skipper Mike Flaherty. "That makes everyone's life easier."
