Kansas City Loses, 4-3, in 10
Fans of the Los Angeles Stars who packed the stands for the home opener were rewarded with a Los Angeles win over the visiting Kansas City Athletics, 4-3, in 10 innings. Mike Merdinger started for the home team against Gerald Tanton. Mike Merdinger earned accolades for his performance. Conor Sleight, now 1-0, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 1.1 innings.

Batting in the bottom of the tenth, 28-year old second baseman Willis Aguilar had a real shot to win the game. Kansas City pitcher Chris Whiffen was determined not to let it happen. But with no outs, Aguilar hit a run-scoring single. The Stars had a walk-off triumph.

"Took some scratching and clawing," said Merdinger. "But we got it done."
