Rainiers Fall Short at Los Angeles, 7-6
The Seattle Rainiers got a sterling performance from second baseman Bill Schuster, but the Los Angeles Angels still prevailed, 7-6. Schuster went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Los Angeles reliever Eddie Carnett got the win, raising his record to 4-1. Lloyd Johnson was tagged with the loss. The wins continue to add up for Los Angeles, with the latest making it 9 in a row.

The Angels were down to their last out in the bottom of the ninth when center fielder Jigger Statz turned a 2-0 fastball from Lloyd Johnson into a 2-run single. The walk-off single electrified the Wrigley Field L.A. denizens and sent the Angels home with a thrilling 7-6 win.

"Enjoyed this one," Statz told the Los Angeles Times. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
