Bonds Leads Athletics to 7-1 Win Over Knights
Getting offensive support from Bobby Bonds, the Philadelphia Athletics topped the Ottawa Knights, 7-1. Bonds was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Athletics. The 11th-place Athletics have won 5 in a row.

Philadelphia used the timely hitting of Toby Harrah to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Athletics on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Bonds told the Philadelphia Times.
