Sick's Stadium was the site of a tense game between the Seattle Rainiers and Los Angeles Angels.

In a low-scoring affair between the Los Angeles Angels and the Seattle Rainiers, pitcher Jesse Flores was the difference between victory and defeat. The Los Angeles right-hander earned accolades in the 3-1 Angels win. Flores went 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 11-9. Roy Joiner converted his 3rd save in 4 tries.

Los Angeles relied on the hitting of Wally Berger to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a 2-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Angels on top, 3-0. For the game, Berger had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"The effort we put into this one paid off," Berger said.

Los Angeles now has a record of 69-49 with the win.
