American Cup of Coffee League

Hollywood Stars (0-1) @ Denver Bears (2-0)

In their second game in a row Denver relied upon their starting pitching to add another notch in the win column, Red Miller was the starter who pitched 7 innings of shut out ball to take the Bears to a 2-0 record. He was however helped in the first when Hollywood's Jim Lyle gave up 4 runs with singles by Ed Hilley, Frank McCrea, Jim McLaughlin and Jackie Sullivan doing the damage in a game that ended with a 5-1 win for the Bears.

Sacramento Solons (1-0) @ Salt Lake City Bees (0-1)

2 hits, 2 rbi's, 1 run and a walk gave Larry McClure player of the game plaudits as he helped his Sacramento Solons overcome the Salt Lake City Bees, most of the damage was done in the second as Walter Alston and Ernie Lush got on base before McClure came to the plate and hit his first single of the game to score Alston, he also crossed the plate himself when a Andy Bruckmiller single gave him time to round 3rd. McClure got his second rbi of the game in the 3rd Jerry Lynn scoring from 3rd on a single by McClure, although the Bees did pull one back in the 6th the Solons returned the favour in the 7th which was made the final score 5-1 to the Sacramento team.

Tacoma Giants (1-1) @ Seattle Rainiers (0-1)

Tacoma came back from their Opening Day defeat to the Denver Bears with a 7-4 win over the Seattle Rainiers thanks mainly to outfielder Irv Porter, Porter managed 3 hits in his 4 at bats which racked up 1 rbi and 2 runs. He was helped in the win with rbi's from Chris Kitsos, Kevin Morgan and Elvio Jimenez.

Oakland Oaks (1-0) @ Portland Beavers (0-1)

The Oaks and Beavers game gave all the hallmarks of a thriller as they both scored a run in the first, all pointers faded away though as the Oaks scored 3 runs in the 5th then added 4 in the 7th and a final 2 runs in the 9th for a 10-2 thrashing of the Beavers. Charlie Miller was the main reason behind the beating as he tallied up 3 hits, 3 runs and 2 rbi in his 5 at bats however Jim Rutherford must count himself unlucky as he claimed 4 rbi's.
