On Road, Sacramento Drops Los Angeles, 7-5
Sacramento catcher Josh Gibson made his presence felt in the 7-5 Solons triumph over the Los Angeles Angels. Gibson went 2-4 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Nub Kleinke earned the win after being called from the bullpen. The right-hander allowed 3 runs on 4 hits in 4.1 innings. He upped his record to 8-5. Sacramento has run its win streak to 8 in a row.

Sacramento used the bat of Eddie Lake to get the win. The second baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Solons ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Gibson.
