| Kings Defeat Sailors, 5-2 | The Seattle Kings rode a solid performance from 26-year-old starting pitcher Swede Hawkins to a win, beating the San Francisco Sailors, 5-2, at Golden Gate Stadium. Hawkins, the winner, moves to 18-9. He threw 8 innings of 2-hit ball, while fanning 6 and giving up 3 walks. The Kings win now puts them at 94-62.
The Kings got an important contribution from shortstop Ben Baker, who in the top of the first punched a 1-1 fastball to left for a 2-run home run. It was his 11th home run of the season and put the Kings ahead, 5-0.
"I'm just happy to help the team win," Baker told the Seattle News. | |
