Blockbusters Slap 8-2 Loss on New York
Los Angeles got a strong outing from Larry Mitchell as the Blockbusters defeated the New York Knickerbockers, 8-2, at Blockbuster Stadium. The Blockbusters, at 42-51, sit in 5th place in the National Baseball League Western Division.

The tide might have turned in the top of the fifth, had not Larry Mitchell made a big pitch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and the Knickerbockers trailing 5-2, he retired Francisco Chavez when the New York first baseman struck out.
