Stars Beat Gaedels, 7-1
The Los Angeles Stars went home winners at Stars Ballpark, thanks in large part to starter Mike Merdinger. Merdinger stifled the St. Louis Gaedels, enabling Los Angeles to grab the 7-1 win. The second-place Gaedels have dropped 5 straight games.

Casey Marko had a big run-scoring double for the Stars in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Los Angeles leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from Lanzo Huitron, who is tied for 7th in the EC in wins with 12, and swatted a double to left-center. It was his 41st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Stars ahead, 2-0.

"This game will humble you real quick," said St. Louis manager Mak Dolnick.
