Knights Nip Grays, 7-6
The Oakland Grays got a superb performance from catcher Joe Loyd. Still, it wasn't enough to beat Los Angeles. The Knights won the game, 7-6. Loyd went 3 for 4 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. The 5th-place Knights have a record of 23-28.

The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Ben Brazel came to bat in the top of the ninth. Facing Oakland pitcher Jack Goff, he hit a 0-1 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Los Angeles on top, 7-6.

"I had a good game," said Brazel. "Winning makes it even better."
