With Late Score, Diamonds Beat Explorers
The Chicago Explorers could not turn a fine performance from first baseman Will D. Smith into a win. Instead, the Anaheim Diamonds prevailed, 8-7, in 10 innings. Smith went 4 for 6 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The setback makes Chicago 57-79.

The decisive blow was delivered by Nolan Gorman in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a solo home run off 27-year old right-handed pitcher Jeremiah Estrada to win the game for Anaheim. The home crowd went nuts.

"This place was electric at the end," Gorman said.
