| Sailors Get Clutch Win, 3-2 | The San Francisco Sailors locked up a win at Golden Gate Stadium, knocking off the Toronto Wolves, 3-2. On the mound for San Francisco was right-hander Dan Atwater. He played a major role in the triumph. The 7th-place Wolves dropped to 64-78.
The game was at a stalemate until center fielder Billy Forbes came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Toronto pitcher William Benns, he hit a 1-1 changeup for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting San Francisco on top, 3-2.
Atwater said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
