Blockbusters Find a Way to Win
The Los Angeles Blockbusters rode a solid performance from 21-year-old starting pitcher Larry Mitchell to a win, beating the Chicago Traders, 2-1, at Blockbuster Stadium. Los Angeles pitcher Fred Wild earned the win, hiking his record to 5-2. William Matz suffered the loss. The Blockbusters sit in 6th place in the National Baseball League Western Division with a record of 38-43.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the tenth inning, when Los Angeles right fielder Oscar Gonzalez, facing William Matz, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Blockbusters the 2-1 win.

"The crowd was boisterous tonight," said Gonzalez.
