The home crowd had a good time watching the Los Angeles Blockbusters and Chicago Traders get after it.

Chicago turned a good effort from starter Jose Mojica into a win over the Los Angeles Blockbusters at Union Field. The final score was 9-2. The Traders now have a record of 51-55.

Chicago second baseman Rafael Fuentes contributed a timely at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With two down, he hit a changeup to center field for a run-scoring single. It was his 126th hit of the season and put the Traders ahead, 2-1.

"Thought I threw pretty well and overall I felt good," said Mojica.
