The Hollywood Stars defeated the Los Angeles Angels, 5-4, in Pacific Coast League action at Wrigley Field L.A.. Hollywood pitcher Leon Day had a standout performance. Don Osborn notched his 1st save in 1 chances. The Stars go to 37-58 with the win.

Hollywood used the timely hitting of Ox Eckhardt to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Stars on top, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll pop the top on a cold beverage and get back to work tomorrow," Day said.
