Charlie Vanmeter went 1 for 3 with a walk and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2 times against the Unions. With the game tied in the top of the ninth inning, he hit a sacrifice fly that put Chicago in front, 8-7.

"Nice to keep stacking the wins," said Vanmeter.

The Cyclones, now 58-21, have won 4 in a row.
