Losing Trend Continues for Chicago
Michael Conforto was a major contributor to the 6-3 Philadelphia win over Chicago. The Phalanx left fielder went 2-4 with 2 doubles and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 4. David Robertson, who led the UL in saves with 46 in 2016, was the winner in relief. His record is now 3-2. The losing pitcher was Tyler Anderson. Justin Topa locked down his 1st save.

Conforto had a game-changing double in the top of the seventh. On a 1-2 slider from Tyler Anderson, he banged a 2-run double to right, giving the Phalanx a 5-3 lead. It was the 5th double of the year for Conforto.

"We're in a funk right now," said Chicago skipper Rock Carpenter.

The losses continue to add up for Chicago, having now dropped 9 straight.
