Blockbusters Slip Past Burros, 5-2
Los Angeles turned a good performance from starting pitcher Randy Medved into a 5-2 triumph over the Denver Burros at Gates Crescent Park. The current losing streak for Denver has reached 4 games.

Los Angeles used the timely hitting of Tom Hester to seize the win. The shortstop stroked a 2-run single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Blockbusters on top, 5-2. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"It takes a lot of things to win a ballgame," said Los Angeles manager John Trausch. "It's usually not just one thing."
