Chicago Beats Los Angeles, 8-6
The Chicago Hawks weathered a fine game by Los Angeles second baseman Ken Booker to upend the Pobladores, 8-6, at San Vicente Park. Booker went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was Doug Smilanich. He tossed 118 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 6 runs on 12 hits. The save went to Angel Villatoro, his 18th this season.

With one out in the top of the seventh, Andy Bires had a game-changing hit. The Hawks center fielder slammed a 2-run single off Larry Seger, making the score 8-5, Chicago.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Bires.

The 6th-place Hawks have won 5 consecutive games.
