Fuentes 4-for-5 in Chicago Win
The Chicago Traders topped the Cincinnati Packers by a score of 11-5. Leading the way was second baseman Rafael Fuentes. Fuentes was 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 times and drove in 4 for the Traders. Picking up the win was Bobby Peters. He went 8 innings, allowing 5 runs on 10 hits. The left--hander struck out 6 and walked 1. Chicago has run its win streak to 5 in a row.

Ed White had a big 2-run double for the Traders in the bottom of the first inning. With Chicago leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a slider from Fernando Lopez, who finished 2nd in the NBL in innings pitched with 282.2 in 1967, and swatted a double to right. It was his 22nd double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Traders ahead, 3-0.

"It was great to come out and swing the bats," Fuentes told the Chicago Gazette.
