Blockbusters Get Gritty, 4-3 Win
The Blockbusters earned a hard-fought, 4-3 win in 12 innings at Allegheny Field. To do so required withstanding a fine effort from Pittsburgh pitcher Jeff Munoz. Munoz went 7.2 innings and allowed 3 runs. Los Angeles pitcher Tom Benson got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Ray Williams got the loss. The Blockbusters now have a mark of 57-77.

Jim Brookins, who is tied for 2nd in the NBL with a .461 on-base percentage, had a direct impact on the outcome. Brookins contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the 12th inning to put Los Angeles up, 4-3.

"This kind of game is tough on the heart," said winning manager John Trausch.
