Extra-Inning Win by Millers Over Suns
Los Angeles right fielder Sam Forrester had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 6-4, to Minneapolis at Wilshire Park. Forrester went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. Minneapolis, at 68-77, sits in 4th place in the Federal Association West.

In the top of the tenth, Jim Ross, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1969 draft, delivered for Minneapolis. That's when he belted a 2-run home run, putting the Millers up, 6-4. It was his lone hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a climactic one.

"Nice win for us," said Ross. "Now we'll go after the next one."
