The Oakland Oaks beat the Portland Beavers, 4-3, at Vaughn Street Park. The Oaks got a fine performance from catcher Ernie Lombardi, who was 4 for 5 with a double and 3 singles. Jack Salveson was the winning pitcher. Over 9 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 11 hits, with 1 walk and 2 strikeouts. With the win, Oakland pushed its record to 65-61.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Gene Handley? The Oakland third baseman had a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the sixth inning to put the Oaks on top, 4-2. For the game, Handley had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

In postgame comments to the Oakland News, Handley said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
