Roger Long pitched a gem to lead Pittsburgh to victory over the Los Angeles Blockbusters, 4-1. Mike Gresley picked up the save, his 2nd. Pittsburgh, at 85-53, is 11 games up in the National Baseball League Eastern Division.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Carlos Chavez? The Pittsburgh center fielder had a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Industrials on top, 1-0. For the game, Chavez had 2 doubles and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Pittsburgh manager Vincent Wicker.
