Traders Rally Late to Clip Los Angeles
Chicago pitcher Larry Cox had a large part in his team beating the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 4-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters in check throughout the game. The 4th-place Traders have won 4 consecutive games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Ken Mays in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 31-year old right-handed pitcher Jerry Wilson to win the game for Chicago. The home crowd went nuts.

"The vibe's good," said Chicago manager Larry Link. "We've got to keep it going."
