Seagulls 2B Johnson goes 4-for-5 in Win
The San Francisco Seagulls defeated the New York Empires, 5-4, in part because of first baseman Don Johnson. Johnson went 4 for 5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Seagulls. Ramon Juarez was the winner. Over 7 innings, he yielded 2 runs on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. San Francisco, at 58-34, is 10½ games up in the American Baseball League Western Division.

Johnson had a game-changing home run in the top of the eighth. On a full count fastball from Tom Duncan, he banged a 3-run home run to left, giving the Seagulls a 5-2 lead. It was the 4th home run of the year for Johnson.

"We were the better team," crowed Johnson.
