Chicago Topples Dallas, 8-4
Hawks first baseman Don Bozza left his mark on his team's 8-4 win over the Dallas Wranglers. Bozza, who finished 5th in the ABL in hits with 171 in 1972, went 2-3 with a home run, a double, and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs for Chicago in the contest. Bruce Elsner picked up the win with 7.1 innings of work. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 2. On the season, he is now 2-3. Dallas is 11-11 after the defeat.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Mark Morris to capture the win. The right fielder stroked a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to put the Hawks on top, 6-2. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but he made it count.

"I'm proud to wear a Chicago jersey," Bozza told the Chicago Chronicle. "We played a good game and came out with the win. What more can you ask for?"
