Los Angeles 5-1 Victors at Veeck Park
Los Angeles Stars starter Mike Merdinger found his groove in his team's 5-1 win over the St. Louis Gaedels. Merdinger yielded 1 run over 5 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 2, and struck out 5. His record improves to 12-11. The losing streak for St. Louis has now reached 5 games.

Los Angeles used the clutch hitting of Willie Vargas to snag the win. The catcher drilled a 3-run home run in the top of the seventh inning to put the Stars ahead, 5-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a crucial one.

"Really good pitchers have that ability to raise their game when they need to," said Los Angeles manager Pat Kaers.
