Blockbusters Drop Contest, 4-1, to Kansas City
Kansas City Bulls starter Tom Mitchell was on his game, helping his team beat the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 4-1. The winner was Mitchell. He threw 8.0 innings of 7-hit ball. The loser was Ralph Weintraub. Andy Luce notched his 10th save in 12 chances.

Ken Durick, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1967 draft, had a direct impact on the outcome. Durick contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put Kansas City up, 4-0.

Said losing manager John Trausch: "The at-bats, obviously, needed to be better."

Kansas City has run its win streak to 4 straight.
