Phantoms Even With Stars After Home Win
The Chicago Phantoms knotted up the Conference Championship at Foster Field, thanks in large part to starter Juzo Matsumoto. Matsumoto quieted the Los Angeles Stars, enabling Chicago to grab the 9-0 win and move into a 2-2 tie in the best-of-7 series.

Matsumoto, a native of Yamagata, Japan, was dealing all game. He kept Los Angeles hitters off-balance, while giving the Phantoms 6.2 quality innings. Matsumoto threw 86 pitches, allowing 2 hits and striking out 5.

"The bar for us is not a particular opponent, it's ourselves," said Chicago manager Sam J.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Stars Ballpark in Los Angeles.
