Cyclones Drop Sturgeons, 6-5
The Chicago Cyclones picked up a win at Riverside Park, taking down the Detroit Sturgeons, 6-5, in 11 innings. On the mound for Chicago was left-hander Harlan Akins. He played a central role in the triumph. Detroit drops to 0-2.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Herbert Davis to seize the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Cyclones on top, 6-5. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Davis. "You've got to get results."
