Blockbusters Get Hard-Earned Win
The Los Angeles Blockbusters withstood a fine game by Chicago first baseman Jeff Madsen at Blockbuster Stadium, to upend the Traders, 5-4. Madsen was 3 for 3 with a double, 2 singles, and a walk. Today's win puts Los Angeles at 42-53, while Chicago falls to 45-51.

Los Angeles took a 5-4 lead on Ramon Montoya's 2nd home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which Montoya hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Chicago pitcher Jimmy Calhoun visibly frustrated.

Los Angeles manager John Trausch commended his team for delivering "maximum effort."
