Stars Pick Up 6-4 Win Against Chicago
The Los Angeles Stars picked up a win at Field of the Stars, knocking off the Chicago Beefs, 6-4. Starting pitcher Maximino Trapa played a key role in the triumph. Clodio Castanhedo closed the game out for Los Angeles, earning his 8th save. Los Angeles is now 16-20, while Chicago is 19-17.

Jaromir Cermaka had a big 2-run home run for the Stars in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Los Angeles leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a changeup from La`nh Vu, who is tied for 8th in the ABL in innings pitched with 51.2, and punished it. The result was his 2nd home run of the season, which put the Stars on top, 4-1.

Los Angeles manager Alex G praised his team's "businesslike approach."
