Larson Delivers Clutch At-Bat for Chicago in Walk-Off Win
The Chicago Tula gave their fans something to talk about with a thrilling, walk-off win.

Chicago overcame a superlative game from José Ruíz to beat Phoenix, 4-3. The Phoenix pitcher took player of the game honors in a losing cause. He threw 8 innings allowing 3 runs. The win puts the Tula at 28-50, while the Hotspur U-21 drop to 39-39.

Marcus Larson was the walk-off hero for Chicago. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth, the Chicago right fielder hit a dramatic run-scoring double to send the teams home.

"I like winning," Larson told the Chicago Times. "I may joke around, but when it comes down to it, winning is the most important thing."
