Spots Grind Out 2-1 Win
John Nunnerley pitched a gem to lead San Francisco to victory over the Los Angeles Lions, 2-1. Carl Cooper, who finished 3rd in the CPL in strikeouts with 173 in 1912, nailed down the save. The Lions fall to 13-16 and continue their sputtering start to the 1917 season.

The Spots got a big at-bat from catcher Walter Taylor. For the game, Taylor was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 3rd home run of the season gave San Francisco a 2-0 lead.

Spots manager Henry Gray raved about Nunnerley after the game. "I thought John was 'lights out.'"
