Traders Snatch Late-Game, 4-3 Win
The Chicago Traders picked up a win at Union Field, topping the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 4-3. On the mound for Chicago was right-hander Larry Cox. He played a principal role in the triumph. Cox got the win, improving to 2-0. He gave up 6 hits and walked 5 over 8 innings. He allowed 3 runs. Randy Weisenberg collected his 4th save.

A defensive lapse proved costly in the contest. In the bottom of the eighth, with the game tied, Fran Precourt was at the plate when Chicago scored 1 on an error. The miscue enabled the Traders to go in front, 4-3.

Chicago manager Larry Link called it "a good, solid win."

Chicago goes to 5-3 with the win.
