Burros Suffer 5-1 Road Loss
The Los Angeles Blockbusters beat the Denver Burros, 5-1, at Blockbuster Stadium. Starting pitcher Larry Messenger was a big reason why. He held his opponent in check all game. Los Angeles has run its win streak to 4 straight.

Jim Horrigan had a big 2-run home run for the Blockbusters in the bottom of the sixth inning. With Los Angeles leading 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a fastball from Dave Church, who finished 5th in the NBL in innings pitched with 250.0 in 1965, and punished it. The result was his 13th home run of the season, which put the Blockbusters on top, 4-1.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Blockbusters manager John Trausch, "I like our chances."
