Phantoms Spill Aquas, 4-0
Chicago used a superb performance from starting pitcher Juzo Matsumoto to down the Houston Aquas, 4-0. Matsumoto picked up the win for Chicago, going 5 innings. He gave up no runs on 4 hits. He now sports a record of 4-8. The Chicago win streak is now 4 games.

Chicago used a clutch at-bat from Jose Buezo to capture the win. The designated hitter hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Phantoms ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Buezo told a Chicago Daily News reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
