Chicago wasted an exceptional performance by pitcher Bobby Peters, falling to the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 7-5. Peters threw 7.0 innings of 6-hit ball for the losing team. After today's action, Los Angeles sits at 47-57; Chicago slips to 51-55.

Melvin Perez was 2-4 with 2 singles and 2 walks for Los Angeles. The 32-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the 11th. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 5-5 tie with a run-scoring walk off Sammy Mason. It was his 16th walk of the season.

"It was a good night for them and a bad night for us," said Chicago manager Larry Link.
