Baseball fans saw a good contest between the Los Angeles Blockbusters and St. Louis Explorers.

The inspired effort of St. Louis catcher Charlie Bartels was not enough to prevent a loss, 5-3, to the Los Angeles Blockbusters. Bartels went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. The winner was Cardell Franklin in relief. His record improves to 6-10. Dave Maughan took the loss.

Los Angeles took advantage of an error in the bottom of the eighth inning. The game was tied, 3-3, when Steve Oubre hit a run-scoring single that was misplayed. It put the Blockbusters in front, 4-3.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Oubre.

The 6th-place Blockbusters have won 4 in a row.
