Skidmore Lifts Sailors to 14-5 Triumph
The San Francisco Sailors topped the Los Angeles Stars, 14-5, at Bigsby Stadium. San Francisco catcher Solly Skidmore was a spark plug for the offense. He was 2 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 5 RBI and scoring once. The win puts San Francisco at 70-57 this season.

San Francisco used the hitting of Les Cunha to pick up the win. The shortstop clubbed a grand slam home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Sailors on top, 10-4. For the game, Cunha had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

In postgame comments to the San Francisco News, Skidmore said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
