Portland pitcher Ad Liska did his part in helping his team beat the Hollywood Stars, 8-1. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. Portland is now 57-62, Hollywood 46-75.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Gene Benson? The Portland center fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the first inning to put the Beavers on top, 3-0. For the game, Benson had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Portland skipper Steve McCarthy.
