In the 6-5 Los Angeles win over San Diego, the impact of Wally Berger was substantial. Berger, who finished 2nd in the PCL in slugging percentage with .624 in 1928, went 4 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times. Satchel Paige got the win, improving to 13-7. He pitched 9 innings, giving up 8 hits and 5 runs, while striking out 8 and walking 3. Los Angeles is now 53-34, 5 games up in the Coast League.

The game came to a dramatic end. In the bottom of the ninth, with Los Angeles trailing 5-4, Johnny Moore hit a fastball from Gordon Maltzberger for a 2-run home run, giving the Angels the walk-off win.

"I'm glad I could get it done when the game was in the balance," Moore said in his postgame press conference.
