Traders Beaten By Blockbusters, 7-2
The home crowd had a good time watching the Chicago Traders and Los Angeles Blockbusters get after it.

Los Angeles beat Chicago on the strength of starting pitcher Billy Duprey's fine effort. The left-hander led his team to a win, 7-2. Los Angeles, now 74-79, holds down 4th place in the National Baseball League Western Division.

With the game tied in the bottom of the fifth inning, Duprey had a clutch at-bat. That's when he hit a sacrifice fly to give the Blockbusters a 1-0 lead.

"I made some pitches when I had to," said Duprey.
