Los Angeles Dealt 5-4 Defeat
The Minneapolis Millers and Los Angeles Suns obliged fans hoping for an exciting game.

Minneapolis Millers starter Hank Wagner pitched a strong game against the Los Angeles Suns at Hennepin County Stadium, leading the Millers to victory, 5-4. The victory makes Minneapolis 6-4.

Carl Kilkenny had a big 2-run home run for the Millers in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Minneapolis leading 3-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a screwball from Bob Hinzman, who led the CA in innings pitched with 269.1 in 1973, and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Millers on top, 5-1.

"It never gets old," said Kilkenny. "Winning, that is."
