Fans who congregated at Western Grounds were treated to extra-inning drama.

The Chicago Cyclones racked up a win at Western Grounds, bumping off the Indianapolis Westerners, 6-5. Jim Lucier, who started for Chicago, pitched effectively for his team. Lucier, who leads the FL in complete games with 4, went the distance for Chicago. He gave up 5 runs on 9 hits.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Morgan Cook? The slugging first baseman Cook stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the tenth inning to put Chicago up, 6-5. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Cook.

Chicago, now 9-2, is playing great baseball to start the year.
