Savala Homers Twice in 5-4 Win
The Dallas Texans licked the Chicago Union, 5-4. Willis Savala deserved a big chunk of the credit. The right fielder was 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 times and drove in 2 for the Texans. Dallas reliever Josh Owen snagged the win, upping his record to 1-1. Tyler Carmona shouldered the loss. Dallas goes to 25-42, Chicago to 24-43.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Firdyiwek Benzai? The 27-year old first baseman Benzai stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put Dallas up, 5-4. For the game, he was 3 for 5, including 1 double and 2 singles.

"It was a good effort all around," said Benzai.
