Frank Bohley, who is a six-time All-Star, came through for Los Angeles with a 2-run double in the bottom of the fifth. The catcher went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and collected 3 runs batted in.

"Ken had good arm action, good stuff," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch.

Los Angeles has now won 3 straight, while the Knickerbockers have lost 4 in a row.
