Phantoms Get Past Phoenix, 3-2
In a low-scoring contest between the Chicago Phantoms and the Phoenix Thunderbirds, 28-year old left-handed pitcher Juzo Matsumoto proved to be the difference. The Chicago left-hander earned props for his performance in the 3-2 Phantoms win. The winning pitcher was Matsumoto, now 3-1. He tossed 7 innings of 2-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 7. Early on, the Phantoms, at 15-5, have excelled.

Chicago used a timely hit from David Kuthakwakulu to get the win. The center fielder stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Phantoms ahead, 3-2. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I didn't leave too many pitches out over the plate," said Matsumoto.
