Los Angeles Edges Phoenix, 6-5
Los Angeles first baseman Akira Kano contributed significantly to his team's 6-5 win over the Phoenix Thunderbirds. Kano, who finished 5th in the EC in home runs with 43 in 2077, went 2 for 3 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Stars. Corey LaCognata, who finished 5th in the WC in wins with 15 in 2078, was the winner. He's now 1-2. The loser was John Hersey. The Thunderbirds fall to 5-7 and continue their lackluster start in 2080.

Los Angeles used a well-timed hit by Eliecer Arruebarrena to capture the win. The shortstop socked a bases-clearing double in the top of the second inning to put the Stars ahead, 3-0. Though it was his only hit in 2 at-bats, it was important.

"We played hard and won," said Kano. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
