Hawks Collect 4-3 Win Over Pobladores
The Chicago Hawks battled the Los Angeles Pobladores into extra innings before the outcome was decided. The Hawks won it, finally, 4-3, in 11 innings. In the game, Chicago center fielder Paul Backer went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The win puts Chicago at 44-64.

Had Backer not come through in the top of the 11th, who knows how the game would've ended? But with two down, Backer hit a run-scoring single. The Hawks took the lead, 4-3, and never looked back.

"If you chase it, you need to get it," said Chicago skipper Mike Flaherty.
