| Extra-Inning Win by Suns Over Minutemen | The Los Angeles Suns topped the Boston Minutemen, 5-3, in 11 innings at Minuteman Stadium. The game was highlighted by the performance of Los Angeles pitcher Heinie Schmidt. Los Angeles pitcher Jim Perrin earned the win, hiking his record to 5-2. Walt Portelli suffered the loss. The save went to Ron Clark, number 32 for him.
Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Jim Thurman? The 32-year old first baseman Thurman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the 11th inning to put Los Angeles up, 5-3. For the game, he was 2 for 5, including 1 double and 1 single.
Thurman attributed the win to "concerted effort and focus."
The first-place Suns, at 78-57, lead the Federal Association West by 6 games.
