Knights, Griffith Pin Bad Loss on Thunderbirds
Good production from left fielder Bennie Griffith helped the Los Angeles Knights topple the Seattle Thunderbirds, 11-2. Griffith was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for the Knights. George Kyle was the winning pitcher. Over 9 innings, he allowed 2 runs on 8 hits, with 4 walks and 4 strikeouts. The win lifted the Los Angeles record to 16-16.

Los Angeles used the clutch hitting of Elmer Hutchins to capture the win. The second baseman drilled a bases-clearing double in the top of the seventh inning to give the Knights the lead, 6-2. For the game, Hutchins had 1 single and 1 double in 3 at-bats.

"Getting a lot of baserunners and getting some timely hits, it's a good combination," said Hutchins.
