Blockbusters Win at St. Louis, 3-1
Corps of Discovery Stadium was the site of a competitive game between the St. Louis Explorers and Los Angeles Blockbusters.

Los Angeles Blockbusters pitcher Joe Hamby was in fine form, leading his team past the St. Louis Explorers, 3-1. Hamby went the distance for Los Angeles. He gave up 1 run on 8 hits.

Los Angeles used a clutch at-bat from Ernie Ronnebaum to capture the win. The left fielder hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Blockbusters ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I like what I saw today," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch, "and I can't wait to get back out there and do it again."

Los Angeles, at 31-43, occupies last place in the National Baseball League Western Division.
