Suns Rally to Win
The Los Angeles Suns bested the Philadelphia Keystones, 6-3, at Broad Street Park II. Sam Forrester was one of the standouts. He was 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The winner was Los Angeles reliever Ben Turnage, now 2-0. The loser was Jim Steuber. Ron Clark picked up his 4th save of the season.

Los Angeles used the timely hitting of Jack Drake to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Suns on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.

Said Philadelphia manager Charlie Leist: "They just got the better of us."

Philadelphia drops to 12-13.
