Walk-Off Seals 77th Victory for Cyclones
Indianapolis catcher Karl Eicher pounded Chicago Cyclones pitchers at Garrison Grounds, but it was not enough to keep the Westerners from falling, 9-8. Eicher slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. With the win, Chicago raised its record to 77-45.

Batting in the bottom of the ninth, 30-year old third baseman Cap White had a real shot to win the game. Indianapolis pitcher Wilton Strickland was determined not to let it happen. But with two outs, White hit a 2-run single. The Cyclones had a walk-off triumph.

"What an ending!" said a jubilant White.
