| Suns Earn 5-3 Home Win | The Los Angeles Suns handed the Minneapolis Millers a 5-3 defeat at Wilshire Park. Third Baseman Bill Burke starred for Los Angeles. He went 3-3 with 3 singles and 2 walks, while scoring 2. Getting the save was Whitey Stewart, his 3rd. The win gives Los Angeles a record of 4-0.
An inflection point occurred with two out in the bottom of the seventh. That's when Suns first baseman Russ Hawkins hit a fastball from Ed Power for a 2-run single. Just like that, Los Angeles was up, 4-3.
"Very good win for our guys," said Burke.
