Down Goes New York, 9-5, to Los Angeles
Bob Branson had an impact in the 9-5 Los Angeles win over New York. The 22-year old shortstop went 3 for 4 with 2 doubles, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The Stars now have a record of 17-19 with the win over New York.

A key moment came with two out in the bottom of the second. That's when Branson hit a changeup from John Alfano for a 2-run single, putting Los Angeles up, 2-0.

"Some wins are easy and some are difficult, but either way we come to the ballpark ready to work hard every day," Branson told the Los Angeles Today.
