Big Day by Forrester Ignites Suns Win
The Los Angeles Suns defeated the Minneapolis Millers, 12-5. Right Fielder Sam Forrester deserved a large share of the credit. Forrester went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4 for the Suns. Pete Meissner was the winner. He's now 4-6. The loser was 29-year old right-handed pitcher Hub Huffman. Los Angeles raised its record to 40-24 with the win.

With Los Angeles trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the first, Forrester hit a fastball from Hub Huffman for a 3-run home run. It was his 13th home run of the season and put the Suns ahead, 3-2.

"If it's down the middle," said Forrester, "you might as well hit it."
