| Foresters Pocket 8-3 Win Against Los Angeles | Cleveland center fielder Vern Schneider had a 3-RBI game, which helped his team beat the Los Angeles Stars, 8-3. Bob V James closed the game out for Cleveland, earning his 26th save. The Foresters, at 63-59, lead by one game in their division.
Schneider contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Cleveland in the bottom of the first. With his team trailing 1-0, Schneider took a changeup from Jackie Thompson and stroked the home run to left-center. His 12th home run of the season allowed the Foresters to leap in front, 2-1.
"I'm trying to see the ball big, see the ball up in the zone and put the barrel on it," Schneider told the Cleveland Chronicle.
