| Suns Topple Comets, 3-0 | Los Angeles took on Houston in front of a lively crowd.
Pete Meissner, who finished 5th in the FA in innings pitched with 260.0 in 1971, had a strong outing for the Los Angeles Suns against the Houston Comets at Wilshire Park. The left-hander was a big part of his team's 3-0 win. The winner was Meissner. He threw 6.2 innings of shutout ball. The loser was Johnny Blackburn. Harry Draper picked up the save for Los Angeles, his 1st of the year.
Houston had runners on 2nd and 3rd in the top of the seventh. With two out, Jim Marshall came to bat, hoping to do some damage. Instead, he popped out. The score remained 2-0, Los Angeles. The Comets saw their comeback bid fail.
Los Angeles has run its win streak to 4 in a row.
