Skidding Stars Lose 8th Straight
The Sacramento Solons picked up a win at Moreing Park, knocking off the Hollywood Stars, 5-3. Starting pitcher Bob Muncrief played a key role in the triumph. Hollywood has now lost 8 consecutive games.

The game was all tied up in the bottom of the eighth, until Muncrief delivered big-time for Sacramento, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Johnny Bittner. The game-changing hit put the Solons on top, 4-3.

"I'll be honest," said Muncrief. "I didn't have much left in the tank."
