| Cummings Mashes 2 Homers in 10-4 Minneapolis Win | The Minneapolis Millers defeated the Los Angeles Suns, 10-4, at Hennepin County Stadium. Leading the charge for Minneapolis was shortstop Cecil Cummings. He belted 2 home runs. He drove in 7 runs and scored twice. Los Angeles's current losing streak has reached 5 games.
Had Clarence Jackson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Jackson hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Millers.
"Been a rough stretch for us," said Los Angeles manager Bill Morrill.
