Stars Land Close Win
The Los Angeles Stars earned a win at Stars Ballpark, knocking off the Minneapolis Vikings, 4-3. On the bump for Los Angeles was right-hander Mike Merdinger. He had a starring role in the triumph. The Stars raised their record to 4-7.

Had Lyndon Lance not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Lance hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Stars.

"Winning is hard sometimes," said Stars manager Pat Kaers. "This one was nice to get."
