Brawlers Lose to Devil Cats, 9-7
The inspired effort of B.C. designated hitter Juan Cortéz was not enough to prevent a loss, 9-7, to the Wicker Park Devil Cats. Cortéz went 2-5 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The winner in relief was Dennis Balch. He is now 5-6. The right-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. The win elevated the Devil Cats to 67-57.

Second Baseman John Harkness made an impact for Wicker Park, when he swatted a run-scoring double off Robert Gilbert in the top of the fifth. For the contest, Harkness went 1-4 with a double and was hit by a pitch, while scoring 2.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Harkness, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
