| Suns Capture Close Win | The Los Angeles Suns beat the Minneapolis Millers, 7-6, in part because of first baseman Bill Anderson. He was 2 for 4 with 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The win belonged to Moe Powell in relief. His record improves to 8-6. Ben Baird took the loss for Minneapolis. Los Angeles leads the Federal Association West by 5 games.
Nicholasville, Kentucky native Bill Anderson had a clutch at-bat in the bottom of the eighth for the Suns. With Los Angeles trailing 6-5, he hit a 2-run single.
"We'd like to put some distance between ourselves and the rest of the division," said Anderson.
