Benson Powers Traders Offense
The Chicago Traders beat the Brooklyn Bluebirds by a score of 4-2. Chicago right fielder Jimmy Benson deserved the lion's share of the credit. Benson was 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Traders. The first-place Traders, at 86-52, now lead their division by 2 games.

With Chicago leading 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Benson hit a slider from Damon Rutherford for a 2-run home run. It was his 24th home run of the season and put the Traders ahead, 4-1.

After the game, Chicago manager Larry Link applauded the team's effort. "They busted their tails out there," he said.
