Los Angeles Loss Spoils Terrific Game by Gunter
The game between Dallas and Los Angeles is in the books, despite a little rain.

The Dallas Wranglers withstood a fine game by Los Angeles first baseman Chuck Gunter at Bluff Park, to upend the Pobladores, 10-6. Gunter belted 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice. The winning pitcher was Steve Coomes. He's now 2-5. He went 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 4 hits for the Wranglers.

Pat Simmons had a big 2-run triple for the Wranglers in the bottom of the first inning. With Dallas leading 1-0 and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he got a changeup from Phil Lester, who is tied for 5th in the ABL in innings pitched with 50.1, and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 4th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Wranglers ahead, 3-0.

Simmons told the Dallas Observer: "I was born for the big stage."

So far, the 1976 season has been disappointing for Los Angeles, now 13-17.
