Hitmakers, Devil Cats Play 12 to Settle Game 1, Motown Now Leads Series 1-0
One game in and the Alexander Hamilton Cup is already looking exhausting.

The Motown Hitmakers and the Wicker Park Devil Cats needed 12 innings to settle Game 1, with the Hitmakers finally taking the 5-4 victory at Devil Cat Park. Excelling in the win was Motown starting pitcher Carlos Hernández, who threw 5.2 innings allowing 1 runs. The Hitmakers and Devil Cats are playing a best-of-7 series.

Motown used the timely hitting of Inokene Komaki to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the 12th inning to put the Hitmakers on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We're happy," Komaki told reporters after the win. "When you're in the playoffs, you've got to treat every game like it could be your last."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Devil Cat Park in Chicago.
