The Los Angeles Blockbusters stopped the Milwaukee Dairymen, 11-2, at Blockbuster Stadium.

The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 8 hits. The loss makes Milwaukee 41-66.

Ed Laub had a big 2-run home run for the Blockbusters in the bottom of the third inning. With Los Angeles leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from former first round draft pick Danny Guerra and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Blockbusters on top, 3-0.

Los Angeles manager John Trausch commended his team for "putting the pedal to the metal."
