On the evening of June 2 the Forest Park Major White Sox hosted the Westchester Astros. The visitors jumped out to a one run lead in the first but Collin Donaldson scored on a double by Quinlan Doolin in the second. Doolin later came home on a ground out by Reggie Loury to take the lead.
Westchester exploded for six runs in the third and home team fought back with three in the fourth. Charlie Hoehne, Mark Ward and starting pitcher Jack Doss all scored to make it 8-4.
Relief pitchers Damian Marquez and Hoehne allowed only one run over the next three innings. They were helped by solid infield defense. Loury made a diving stop at shortstop and got up in time to throw out the runner on a close play at first.
Meanwhile, Forest Park rallied in the sixth, with James Hobson, Hoehne, Ward and Doss coming home to tie the game 9-9. The Forest Parkers were wearing their rally caps as the teams battled into extra innings. Finally, in the eighth, James Thompson knocked in Hobson with the game winner.
