Wisely Delivers Walk-Off Win for Phalanx
The Philadelphia Phalanx cut down the Chicago Explorers by the score of 12-11, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman Manny Machado. Machado went 3 for 5 with 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 4 for the Phalanx. Philadelphia is now 63-88, Chicago 65-86.

Brett Wisely was the walk-off hero for Philadelphia. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Phalanx pinch hitter hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"It's great when the crowd gets into it," Machado said.
