In a low-scoring contest between the Los Angeles Blockbusters and the Chicago Traders, Dario Fontanez was the X factor. The Los Angeles right-hander spearheaded the 3-2 win. Fontanez yielded 2 runs over 9 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 1. His record improves to 7-6. Los Angeles is now 45-46, while Chicago is 51-41.

The game was all tied up in the top of the eighth, until Fontanez delivered big-time for Los Angeles, stroking a dramatic run-scoring single off Skip Crawford. The game-changing hit put the Blockbusters on top, 3-2.

Fontanez called the win "a lesson in teamwork."
