Reggie Jackson slammed a homerun at Comiskey Park as the Chicago Fire won a
thriller over the Texas Rangers in, 2 to 1.
The game was decided in the 9th inning. After an out was recorded, Ellis
Valentine doubled. Chris Chambliss stepped into the batter's box and he was
walked intentionally. After another out, Greg Pryor then stroked a base-hit
giving Chicago the win much to the delight of the home town crowd. Although
they lost, Texas did out-hit Chicago 10 to 7.
Bill Castro(1-0) got the win allowing no runs in 1 inning. Ed Farmer(1-1) was
the losing pitcher in relief. He gave up 1 run and 2 hits in 1 and 2/3 innings.
