Otto Velez homered and had 3 RBI as the Chicago Fire defeated the Texas
Rangers in 10 innings by the score of 6 to 5 at Comiskey Park.
The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings. Chicago ended up winning it in
the 10th inning. After an out was recorded, Chris Chambliss stroked a
base-hit. Gary Carter struck out, unable to help the rally. Jim Morrison
then doubled. Kiko Garcia was up next and he drew a walk to load the bases.
John Ellis stepped into the box and reached on an error giving Chicago the
victory and sending the 37,455 home-town fans home happy. Chicago rapped out
11 hits for the night.
Tim Stoddard(1-0) went 1 inning allowing no runs for the victory. Sid
Monge(0-1) was hit with the loss in relief. He surrendered 1 run and 1 hit
in 1/3 of an inning.
