Cyclones Walk Off with 8-7 Win
The Chicago Cyclones outlasted Jim Frank and the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 8-7, in 11 innings. Frank was impressive in the loss. The Pittsburgh catcher went 2-5 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. Harlan Akins, who leads the FL with a 4.8 K/9 rate, was the winning pitcher. Over 11 innings, he allowed 7 runs on 11 hits, with 3 walks and 10 strikeouts. After today's action, Chicago sits at 65-37, while Pittsburgh falls to 43-51.

The game-ending blow was delivered by Bill Avery in the bottom of the 11th. That's when he hit a run-scoring double off 30-year old right-handed pitcher Ed Wales to win it for Chicago and cause the home crowd to erupt in celebration.

"That was intense," said Avery.
