Brazel has 3 hits today, Leads Knights to Win
Spirited fans greeted the Dallas Centurions for their clash with the Los Angeles Knights.

With center fielder Ben Brazel leading the charge, the Los Angeles Knights defeated the Dallas Centurions, 10-4, at Centurions Ballpark. Brazel, who finished 3rd in the GWL in triples with 10 in 1946, went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Henry Crayton, the winner, goes to 3-2. He allowed 4 runs on 8 hits, with 4 walks and 2 strikeouts over 9 innings.

Los Angeles pitcher Henry Crayton staked his team to an early lead in the top of the second inning, when he hit a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded.

"For the most part, I made good pitches when I needed to," said Crayton.

The Knights have now won 5 straight.
