Clutch Hitting Delivers Win for Red Birds
The Toronto Red Birds defeated the Echo Park Lakers, 7-3. Doing his part was left fielder Juan Flores, who was 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Gonzalo Anaya closed it out for his 4th save. After today's action, Toronto sits at 28-27; Echo Park slips to 20-35.

Toronto used the timely hitting of Marc Clark to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Red Birds on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It's good to win," Clark told the Toronto Herald. "I like to have fun doing it."
