Padres Lose to Beavers, 6-3
The Portland Beavers beat the San Diego Padres, 6-3. Portland pitcher and Chicago, Illinois, native Whitey Hilcher led the way. Hilcher got the win, improving to 2-1. He allowed 8 hits and walked 2 over 9 innings. Hilcher allowed 3 runs. With the win, Portland pushed its record to 53-49.

Had Steve Mesner not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and the bases loaded, Mesner hit a bases-clearing double. That made the score 5-2, in favor of the Beavers.

"I'm just looking for a good pitch that I can hit well," said Mesner. "And not try to do too much."
