Los Angeles Topples Milwaukee, 12-5
The Los Angeles Blockbusters topped the Milwaukee Dairymen, 12-5, at Blockbuster Stadium. Los Angeles right fielder Jim Brookins was a spark plug for the offense. He was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2. The win has Los Angeles at 34-49.

The Dairymen had been locked in a 2-2 tie with the Blockbusters going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the former first round draft pick Tom Hester came to the plate. Hester hit a 3-run home run on a first pitch fastball from Milwaukee hurler Danny Guerra. It was Hester's 6th home run of the year.

"The boys came out and just played their butts off," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch.
