In a tightly-contested game between the Chicago Phantoms and the Los Angeles Stars, pitcher John Liberty was outstanding. The Chicago right-hander, who is tied for 8th in the WC with a 1.04 WHIP, propelled his team's 2-1 win. Chicago pitcher Teh-huai Yap got the win, upping his record to 6-6. Billy Portillo got the loss. Chicago goes to 69-47, Los Angeles to 69-47.

The defining moment came in the bottom of the ninth for Chicago. That's when Walter Gravel hit a solo home run off 32-year old left-handed pitcher Billy Portillo to win the game. The home crowd went wild.

"We saved our best for last," said Gravel.
