Blockbusters Get One-Run Win at St. Louis
Behind a solid performance from first baseman Duane Kennedy, the Los Angeles Blockbusters defeated the St. Louis Explorers, 7-6. Kennedy was 4-5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles. He scored 2 times for the Blockbusters. The Explorers, at 37-53, have lost 6 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for David Obert? The Los Angeles shortstop had a run-scoring walk in the top of the seventh inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 6-4. For the game, Obert had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"Very pleased with the effort on our side," said Kennedy.
