The winner was William Matz in relief. His record improves to 3-0. Ken Morrison took the loss. Their 77-72 record puts the Traders 4th in the National Baseball League Western Division.

Doug White's at-bat in the bottom of the fifth inning was a big one for Chicago. Coming to bat with one out, runners on 1st and 2nd and Chicago trailing 2-0, the third baseman hit a run-scoring single.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," White said. "We did a good job of that today."
