Bluebirds Absorb 9-4 Home Loss
Los Angeles beat Brooklyn in a rain-soaked ballgame.

Blockbusters right fielder Jim Brookins left his mark on his team's 9-4 win over the Brooklyn Bluebirds. Brookins, who is tied for 9th in the NBL with a .873 OPS, went 2 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 and driving in 2 for Los Angeles in the contest. Larry Mitchell got the win, improving to 10-7. He worked 6 innings, giving up 4 runs on 7 hits, while striking out 7 and walking 1.

An inflection point occurred with no one out in the top of the fifth. That's when Blockbusters center fielder Oscar Gonzalez hit a changeup from Damon Rutherford for a 2-run single. Just like that, Los Angeles was up, 5-4.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Brookins.

The win hiked the Los Angeles record to 46-44.
