Dihigo Helps Miami Outscore Chicago
Good production from shortstop Martín Dihigo helped the Miami Cuban Giants topple the Chicago American Giants, 12-10. Dihigo went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He scored 3 times and drove in 4 for the Cuban Giants. Miami is now 76-77.

Miami used a clutch at-bat from Jim Thome to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Cuban Giants ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"It was great to come out and swing the bats," Thome told the Miami Today.
