Blockbusters 3-2 Victors Over San Diego
Los Angeles Blockbusters starter Dario Fontanez hurled his team past the San Diego Captains, 3-2. Tom Benson recorded his 8th save for Los Angeles. The setback makes San Diego 41-30.

Norm Parsons had a big run-scoring double for the Blockbusters in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Los Angeles leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from John Espersen, who is tied for 3rd in the NBL in innings pitched with 119.1, and swatted a double to right-center. It was his 15th double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Blockbusters ahead, 3-0.

"We busted our tails," said San Diego manager Joe Mack. "But we came up short."
