The Phantoms got a big at-bat from designated hitter Matt Smookler. For the game, Smookler went 1-4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the third, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 7th home run of the season gave Chicago a 2-0 lead.

After the game, Chicago manager Sam J applauded the team's effort. "They busted their humps out there," he said.
