Los Angeles Wins, 7-5
Starting pitcher Jim Place pitched well enough to help the Los Angeles Suns beat the New York Gothams, 7-5. Gary Preston earned save number 5 this season. The win puts Los Angeles at 11-6.

Los Angeles used a clutch at-bat from Ed Mooney to capture the win. The catcher hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Suns ahead, 5-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We have a lot of confidence in Jim," said Los Angeles manager Jim Coulter.
