Blockbusters Use Late Score to Top Traders, 2-1
The Los Angeles Blockbusters earned a close win over the Chicago Traders, thanks in part to Larry Mitchell. The Los Angeles right-hander, who is tied for 8th in the NBL in innings pitched with 177.1, played a key role in the 10-inning, 2-1 victory. Los Angeles pitcher Bill Kaiser earned the win, hiking his record to 7-4. Vern Hensley suffered the loss. Today's win puts Los Angeles at 51-65, while Chicago falls to 58-60.

The Blockbusters got a clutch hit from second baseman Ken Frederick. In the bottom of the tenth, he delivered a run-scoring single to win the game for the Blockbusters.

"Larry just went about his business, throwing strikes," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch.
