Charles Helps ABCs Beat Stars, 15-8
Due in large part to third baseman Ed Charles, the Indianapolis ABCs sunk the Philadelphia Stars, 15-8. Charles went 4 for 6 with a home run and 2 doubles. He scored 3 times and drove in 3. The winning pitcher was Eppa Rixey. He tossed 96 pitches over 7 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits. Indianapolis is now 78-79. Philadelphia is 82-75.

Johnny Bench had a big 2-run home run for the ABCs in the top of the sixth inning. With Indianapolis leading 3-2 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from J.M. Ward, who is tied for 8th in the NL in strikeouts with 180, and punished it. The result was his 44th home run of the season, which put the ABCs on top, 5-2.

"Feels good to get the job done," Bench said after the game.
