| Stars Pocket 8-5 Win Against Cleveland | Gene Curtis, who is tied for 5th in the CA in hits with 70, led Los Angeles to a win over Cleveland. The final score was 8-5. Curtis collected 2 RBI, while going 3 for 5 at the plate. The third baseman also scored 2 times. The win puts the Stars at 29-32, while the Foresters drop to 34-26.
Ed Holmes was 1-5, while adding 2 RBI for Los Angeles. The 28-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the second. With two out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a 2-run single off Ducky Davis. It was his 45th hit of the season.
Holmes said his wife shared good advice with him before the game. "She said, 'Don't allow this game to make you mad.' When I thought about it, I realized this is just a game. I was able to relax at the plate."
