Hawks Beat Wranglers in 11
The Dallas Wranglers got a sterling performance from center fielder Rick Adams, but the Chicago Hawks still prevailed, 8-5. Adams went 2-2 with 2 singles and a walk. He drove in 4 runs. The Hawks improved their record to 45-73 by beating Dallas.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Mark Morris? The Chicago right fielder had a 2-run single in the top of the 11th inning to put the Hawks on top, 6-4. For the game, Morris had 1 double and 2 singles in 6 at-bats.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Morris.
