Behind Merdinger, Stars Beat Destroyers, 5-3
Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Los Angeles Stars and San Diego Destroyers.

Mike Merdinger was superb against San Diego. The right-hander, who is tied for 2nd in the WC in quality starts with 19, had a slider that was virtually unhittable at times. The result was a Stars victory. The score was 5-3. Miguel Torrez finished to wrap up his 31st save.

Merdinger allowed no runs over 8 innings. He also racked up 9 strikeouts.

"Mike was able to execute his pitches," said Los Angeles manager Pat Kaers. "Simple as that."

Los Angeles improves to 70-55 with the win. They lead their division by 12½ games.
