Stars Clip Beavers, 7-6
Behind a solid performance from first baseman Ox Eckhardt, the Hollywood Stars defeated the Portland Beavers, 7-6. Eckhardt went 4 for 4 with a double and 3 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Stars. The win was credited to Johnny Bittner in relief. His record improves to 1-1. By Speece took the loss. Portland has now lost 4 consecutive games.

Hollywood used a timely hit from Chris Hartje to get the win. The catcher stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the eighth inning to put the Stars ahead, 7-6. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"Nice to tuck this win away," said Hartje.
