  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Utah Utes (6-7) 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 3 14 0

Utes Lose to Winds, 7-3
The Chicago Winds topped the Utah Utes, 7-3, at Wrigley Field. Chicago catcher Leon Morales was a spark plug for the offense. He was 2 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Utah now is 6-7.

There was more than one reason the Winds beat the Utes, but Morales's big at-bat in the bottom of the first was an important factor. He staked his team to a 2-0 lead when he hit a 2-run single.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Utah manager George Kird.
