Slumping Westerners Lose 6th Straight
Garrison Grounds was rocking after an exciting Cyclones win.

The Chicago Cyclones beat the Indianapolis Westerners, 8-7, at Garrison Grounds. Chicago right fielder Conn Bolick led the way. He went 4 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Victor Anderson got the win, improving to 6-3. He worked 9 innings, giving up 7 runs on 11 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 3.

Herbert Davis was the walk-off hero for Chicago. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cyclones center fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"There's nothing like the buzz of a walk-off win," Davis said.

The first-place Cyclones have a one-game lead in their division.
