Bulls Fall, 10-7, to Griffith, Knights
The 10-7 Los Angeles win over Houston was due in large part to Bennie Griffith. The Knights left fielder went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Los Angeles reliever Karl Wallace picked up the win, upping his record to 7-7. Jim Bob Jones absorbed the loss. With this game in the books, Los Angeles is 34-43, Houston 50-29.

Joseph Mills aided the Los Angeles cause with a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the first. For the game, the right fielder went 1-2 with a home run, a walk, and was hit 2 times, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once.

"We put a lot of pressure on ourselves," Mills told a Los Angeles Bulletin reporter. "Sometimes we just need to relax."
