Hurons Earn Clutch Win, 4-3
The Toronto Hurons spoiled a good performance by Chicago center fielder Paul Backer, bumping off Chicago, 4-3, at Hyde Park Stadium. Backer went 2 for 2 with a double. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Toronto is now 39-54, while Chicago is 35-58.

Toronto needed the clutch hitting of Jeff McPhearson to seal the deal. The second baseman swatted a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Hurons on top, 4-3. For the game, McPhearson had 1 home run and 2 singles in 6 at-bats.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Chicago skipper Mike Flaherty, "and it cost us."
