Hawks Get Hard-Earned Win
The Los Angeles Pobladores got a sterling performance from pitcher Phil Lester, but the Chicago Hawks still prevailed, 5-4. Lester threw 9.0 innings of 8-hit ball. Leonardo Ibarra was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 8 of 10 save opportunities. Chicago, with the win, is 44-102.

An inflection point occurred with no one out in the top of the ninth. That's when Hawks catcher Lute Eccles hit a cutter from Phil Lester for a 2-run single. Just like that, Chicago was up, 5-4.

"We found a way to get it done," Eccles said.
