Smokies Sneak Past Hitmen, 9-8
With right fielder Jorge Cooper leading the charge, the Asheville Smokies defeated the Chicago Hitmen, 9-8, at Wrigleyville Stadium. Cooper, who is tied for 6th in the SL in total bases with 172, went 2-5 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. Asheville reliever Christopher MacKinley picked up the win, raising his record to 2-2. Pablo Ventura was tagged with the loss. The third-place Smokies raised their record to 40-46.

Cooper had a game-changing home run in the top of the ninth. On a 2-2 sinker from Pablo Ventura, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Smokies a 9-7 lead. It was the 18th home run of the year for Cooper.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Cooper. "And not try to do too much."
