Eagles Sunk by Blockbusters
Due in large part to first baseman Jimmy Locricchio, the Los Angeles Blockbusters sunk the Washington Eagles, 8-5. Locricchio went 2-3 with a triple and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. Larry Mitchell, the winner, goes to 4-9. He allowed 5 runs on 12 hits, with 1 walk and 4 strikeouts over 8 innings. Cardell Franklin recorded the save for Los Angeles, his 10th of the season.

In the bottom of the third, Champ Arkle delivered a clutch hit. With two gone and the bases loaded, the Los Angeles third baseman hit a 2-run single, putting the Blockbusters in front, 8-5.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Arkle told the Los Angeles Chronicle. "It's as simple as that."

The setback makes Washington 53-75.
