Hawks Deny Wranglers, 4-3
The Chicago Hawks beat the Dallas Wranglers, 4-3, in part because of center fielder Paul Backer. He was 2-2 with a triple and 2 walks. The win gives Chicago a record of 8-8.

Chicago used a clutch at-bat from Andy Bires to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Hawks ahead, 4-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I'll probably toss and turn tonight," Dallas manager William Albrecht said, following the tough loss.
