Captains Stun Blockbusters, 10-3
Dick Howard impressed in the 10-3 San Diego win over Los Angeles. Howard, who is tied for 7th in the NBL with a .879 OPS, was 2 for 5 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2. The Captains have a one-game lead in the National Baseball League Western Division.

An inflection point occurred with two out in the top of the eighth. That's when Captains pinch hitter Troy Stallings hit a splitter from Dario Fontanez for a 2-run single. Just like that, San Diego was up, 4-3.

"Every time you put a 'W' on the board is always good," said Howard.
