American Giants Get Clutch Win, 5-4
The Chicago American Giants sent the home crowd home ecstatic.

The Chicago American Giants scored a tight, 5-4 win versus the Miami Cuban Giants at South Side Park. Chicago pitcher Ed Walsh held his own in the contest. The winner was Tom Williams in relief. His record improves to 3-2. Ricky Nolasco took the loss.

The decisive blow was delivered by Eddie Collins in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 31-year old right-handed pitcher Ricky Nolasco to win the game for Chicago. The home crowd went nuts.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Collins said in his postgame press conference.

At 63-75, Chicago is in third place in the American League Cumberland Posey Division.
