The Chicago Phantoms pasted the Minneapolis Vikings with a convincing 12-3 defeat at Minneapolis Grounds. Matt Smookler was a prime factor in the Chicago win. He hit 2 home runs. He drove in 5 runs and scored twice. John Liberty got the win, improving to 8-3. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 5 hits and 1 run, while striking out 6 and walking 1. With the win over Minneapolis, the Phantoms improved to 67-44.

With Chicago leading 7-0 in the top of the sixth, Smookler batted against Minneapolis pitcher Ti-an Fang. Smookler hit a curveball to left-center for a 3-run home run. His 8th home run of the season put the Phantoms on top, 10-0.

Said Minneapolis manager Ace Cooan after the blowout loss: "They did pretty much every facet of the game better than we did and that's why we lost."
