Williams, Rangers Clobber Cubs, 11-2
The 11-2 Texas win over Chicago (N) was due largely to Billy Williams. The Rangers left fielder went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3. Jesse Litsch earned the win to go to 11-9. He allowed 2 runs on 6 hits, with 4 walks and 2 strikeouts in 7 innings of work. At 41-58, the Rangers claim 8th place in the American League.

With Texas leading 3-2 in the bottom of the fifth, Williams hit a run-scoring single off Chicago (N) hurler Dustin Hermanson. It was the 101st hit of the season for Williams and put his team ahead, 4-2.

Chicago (N) manager Matt Ida called the blowout loss "a real stinker."
