Over 6.1 innings, he allowed 1 run on 7 hits, with 3 walks and 4 strikeouts. The Blockbusters now own a record of 70-75.
In the top of the sixth, Los Angeles catcher Lee Craig had a productive at-bat. With the bases loaded and no one out, Craig stroked a 2-run single to center. It made the score 5-1, Los Angeles. For the game, he was 1-5. He drove in 2 runs.
