Thomas Helps American Giants Defeat Cuban Giants, 12-7
The Chicago American Giants defeated the Miami Cuban Giants, 12-7. First Baseman Frank Thomas deserved a large share of the credit. Thomas was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the American Giants. Ben Sheets, the winning pitcher, improved to 1-3. He pitched 7 innings, giving up 9 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 0. The win gives Chicago a season record of 23-17.

With Chicago trailing 4-3 in the top of the fifth, Thomas hit a splitter from Kenshin Kawakami for a 3-run home run. It was his 7th home run of the season and put the American Giants ahead, 6-4.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Thomas.
