Grays Hand Knights 6-5 Loss
Jim Hatfield did all he could to help his team win. In the end, though, it wasn't enough to keep the Los Angeles Knights from losing, 6-5, to the Oakland Grays at Knights Stadium. Hatfield was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. Whitey Reynolds picked up the win, improving his season record to 3-0. He struck out 8 in 9 innings. Los Angeles is 9-10 after the loss.

Oakland shortstop Jack Bush staked his team to an early lead in the top of the second inning, when he hit a 2-run double with runners on 1st and 2nd.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Bush told the Oakland Daily.
