Blockbusters Victorious at Pittsburgh, 5-3
Los Angeles Blockbusters starter Larry Mitchell pitched effectively against the Pittsburgh Industrials at Allegheny Field. The right-hander spearheaded his team's 5-3 win. The Blockbusters now have a record of 56-70 with the win over Pittsburgh.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Bill May? The Los Angeles third baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the second inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 4-1. For the game, May had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

May called the win the result of "everyone being in sync."
