He played a key role in the triumph. Randy Weisenberg closed it out for Chicago, earning his 43rd save. With the win, the Traders hiked their record to 88-73.

Rafael Fuentes, who finished 4th in the NBL in extra base hits with 66 in 1969, had a direct impact on the outcome. Fuentes contributed a run-scoring single in the top of the fifth inning to put Chicago up, 1-0.

"The old adage is true," said Peters. "Good pitching stops good hitting."
