Traders Win, 7-3, Extend Streak to 7 Games
The Chicago Traders picked up a win at Union Field, dropping the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 7-3. Marty Arnold, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1966 draft, was the difference-maker. The Traders have now reeled off 7 straight wins.

Rafael Fuentes had a big run-scoring triple for the Traders in the bottom of the second inning. With Chicago leading 1-0 and a runner on 1st, he got a slider from Wayne Guilmette, the 14th overall pick in the 1965 draft, and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 9th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Traders ahead, 2-0.

"I like the roll we're on," said Chicago manager Larry Link.
