The ABCs grabbed a win, 6-4, at Wrigley Field, overcoming a fine effort from Wandering pitcher Bob Rush. Rush went 6.1 innings and allowed 3 runs. Indianapolis reliever Jack Billingham picked up the win to move to 4-1. Karl Spooner suffered the loss. The victory gives Indianapolis a record of 44-35.

Indianapolis needed the clutch hitting of Johnny Bench to seal the deal. The catcher swatted a 2-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the ABCs on top, 6-4. For the game, Bench had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It's nice to step up when your team needs you," said Bench.
