Denver Stopped, 5-1, by Los Angeles
The home crowd had a good time watching the Denver Burros and Los Angeles Blockbusters get after it.

The Los Angeles Blockbusters got a good effort from starter Jon Hampton in defeating the Denver Burros at Blockbuster Stadium. The final score was 5-1. Hampton, now 1-1, was the winner. In 8.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 1, walking 6, and allowing 1 run.

The 31-year old left fielder Leon Hughes tried to rally his team in the top of the fifth inning. With runners on 2nd and 3rd and Denver trailing 2-0, Hughes hit a run-scoring single. But that was all she wrote for Denver. "Hughes had a nice at-bat," said manager Clark Anderson. "Otherwise, we had a shortage of hits when it counted."

Los Angeles is now 6-3.
