Explorers Deal Hitmen 3-2 Loss
The Chicago Explorers topped the Washington Hitmen, 3-2, in 10 innings at Baron's Ballyard. The game was highlighted by the performance of Chicago pitcher Cade Horton. Chicago reliever Yuki Matsui got the win, raising his record to 4-4. Aroldis Chapman was tagged with the loss. With this game in the books, Chicago is 45-58, Washington 48-55.

Chicago got a knockout punch from Salvador Perez. The catcher hammered a solo home run in the bottom of the tenth inning to win the game. It might've been his only hit, but it decided the outcome.

"We fed off the energy of the crowd at the end," Horton said.
