Gold Sox Come Up Short at Wizarding
The Wizarding Express scored a 4-2 win versus the Chicago Gold Sox at Platform 9 3/4. Wizarding pitcher Gabe Stephenson nabbed top player honors in the tight contest. The winning pitcher was Stephenson, now 5-3. He tossed 8 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 2 and fanning 6. Wizarding now has a 3-game win streak.

In the bottom of the 7th, pinch hitter Carlos Ortega gave Wizarding the lead when he hit a 3-run home run. The Express had been trailing 2-0, but the two-out home run off Chicago pitcher Jason Puckett changed that -- and Wizarding went on to win.

"If I go out there and help the team win, that's all you can do," said Stephenson.
