Los Angeles first baseman Jim Hatfield had a terrific game, but it still wasn't enough to get his team a win. Hatfield slugged 2 home runs. He drove in 4 runs and scored twice, even as Seattle beat the Knights, 5-4. The winner was Charlie Potter in relief. His record improves to 2-1. Sam Vaughan took the loss. The win has Seattle at 41-59.

Seattle took a 5-4 lead on Frank Hill's 7th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Los Angeles pitcher Sam Vaughan in the bottom of the eighth.

"Credit where credit is due," said Hill, "this was a team win."
